HellO! I was wondering if you do not have sahlab what can you use instead? And is the adding of the doubble cream later create the chunks of cream that is traditionally in persian ice cream? Thanks!

Hello Jess

You can use eggs like making other kind of ice cream but it is not any more Persian's ice cream.

And about double cream that is right,it create the chunks of cream and that is traditional in Persian's ice cream.

Good luck

I can't find sahlab where I am but I do have corn starch and potato starch. Do you think i can use them as substitutes? Or maybe ground flax seeds?
