Yakh-dar-Behesht (Ice-in-Heaven)
Ingredients: (4 servings)
rice-flour, 100 grams
starch, 150 grams
sugar, 500 grams
rosewater, 1/2 cup
milk, 1 litre
water, 1 litre
crushed pistachios, 50 grams
Directions:
Ice-in-Heaven is a delicious dessert that is easy to make. Dissolve starch well in cold
water and dissolve rice-flour well in cold milk. Mix the two solutions and bring to slow
boil over low heat. Regularly stir the mix until it thickens. Now add sugar and rosewater.
Continue stirring the mix while it boils very slowly so that it does not settle.
When the mix becomes very thick, it is ready. Pour it into a deep rectangular dish and
shake so that the surface is level. Let it cool down completely, then cut a grid into it
the lines of which are parallel to the diagonals of the dish. Sprinkle the pistachios on
top. Ice-in-Heaven is now ready to serve.
