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.
