This ice cream was called "Bashtani Sonati." This version was prepared on a Cream basis with very high fat percentages and sometimes also with eggs, instead of "crushed gum powder" with "orchid powder" plus spices in honor of the Persian king and also for seasoning of Persian desserts such as Faloodeh.
