Saffron Pistachio Ice Cream
(#Bastanisonati or #akbarmashti)
Just in time for #InternationalIceCreamDay, I decided to make a simple tutorial video on turning a vanilla ice cream to #bastanisonati .
Saffron Pistachio Ice Cream known as bastani Sonati or (#AkbarMashti ) is one of the most popular and #traditional #Persian ice creams. #Saffron, #rosewater, #pistachio and pieces of frozen #clottedcream makes this ice cream #unique and extremely #delicious.
With just few simple step you can make any vanilla ice cream to a saffron pistachio ice cream. Sometimes you buy rose water to use for baking or cooking and you have so much extra, and this is good way to use it, specially in summertime. You can impress your guests by serving this ice cream for your next event.
I made this video yesterday, and put the ice cream in the freezer, so I can take pictures and complete the video to post it today.
By the time I got to the ice cream container this morning, more than half was gone since it’s my hubby’s favorite 😊😂. I am glad there was enough left for me to take pictures ❣️
