Instructions

  1. Grind the saffron using a small pestle and mortar. Sprinkle it over 2-3 ice cubes in a small bowl and leave it at room temperature to melt. This will be your bloomed saffron.
  2. In a bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk with bloomed saffron, rosewater and ground cardamom using a spoon. Set aside.
  3. Whip the cold heavy cream in a large bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  4. Using a spatula, gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk mixture.
  5. Fold in the chopped pistachios gently. You can use a spatula for this step.
  6. Transfer the ice cream to a 9x5 loaf pan and top with more pistachios if desired. Cover with a plastic wrap and freeze for 8 hours.
  7. To serve, let the saffron ice cream sit at room temperature for 2 to 4 minutes. Scoop out Persian saffron ice cream and serve.

Notes

  • Dairy free heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk won't work for this recipe.
  • Store the leftovers in the same container (covered with a plastic wrap) or in a freezer safe container for up to a week.
