  1. Hello, I’m Mohsen and I’m from Iran.
    This ice cream is unique to Iran.
    I’m glad that you’ve shared the recipe here.
    However, please note that this ice cream is traditionally made in Iran.
    That said, I personally would love to know its gelato version.
    If anyone knows the gelato recipe for it, please email me at:

    Thanks a lot!
