Ice-in-heaven (iranian dessert)

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
100 grams Rice-flour
150 grams Starch
500 grams Sugar
½ cup Rosewater
1 litre Milk (instead of regular milk you could use coconut milk mixed with a little soy milk)
1 litre Water
50 grams Crushed pistachios

Directions

(by Roxana & Farzin Mokhtarian) 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.
