Delicious and exotic flavours of Saffron and rosewater ice-cream.

A great way to greet spring with this delicious Saffron ice-cream :D

Saffron ice-cream known as Persian ice-cream or bastani, has quite a unique flavour, the floral aroma comes from adding rosewater and that hint of unique delicate saffron taste.

Saffron and rosewater goes well together without one overpowering the other.

Saffron and rosewater ice-cream is delicious.

Our first taste of Saffron and Rosewater ice-cream was in a Persian restaurant in the city.

We were there to celebrate my birthday early this year.
The Persian food we ordered were superb but the highlight was the dessert. The saying "Saving the best for last" was spot on!
We were smitten with the unique and delicate taste of saffron and rosewater.

Wanting to re-create the taste at home, so we can enjoy as many scoops as we like... I turned to Google!
Found a good recipe of Saffron and rosewater ice-cream recipe from My Persian Kitchen (sorry, link to her blog is broken).

My Persian Kitchen method wasn't laborious to make, but I just could not wait for 48 hours to have this saffron and Rosewater again.
So I mixed/ cooked everything (See recipe below) and only refrigerate the custard ready to be churned in the ice-cream maker the next day.
Will I make it again?

Oh yes... :D
What I like about this ice-cream, apart from the great taste, is the texture. Its soft, not icy, easy to scoop even though the ice-cream tub was in the freezer for more than 48 hours under minus 4 degree Celcius.
