Faloodeh, very close to Faloodeh Shirazi.

Another favorite Persian frozen dessert.  There are a few different ways to make this, but I will share my latest technique.

Ingredients

1 cup boiling water
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup rose water
saffron (optional)
rice noodles (thin ones, usually sold in the Chinese food section)

Directions

1.

Mix the sugar with the boiling water, until completely dissolved. Add the rose water, and if desired the saffron. Set aside and once it is cooled down place it in the freezer. If you plan on making the entire package of rice noodles you will need to double your mix (sugar, water, and rose water). I left the mix in the freezer over night, that way it was completely frozen. Once ready to make the noodles I took the frozen mix out of the freezer. I took half of the rice noodles and chopped them up a bit. Note: it was difficult to chop them up, so I actually used my blender (on chop mode) to get them to cut down a bit in size. Then I placed the noodles in a pot of boiling water for approximately 10 – 15 minutes (depending on the amount used, and thickness of the noodles). After I drained the noodles I ran them under cold water for a minute to cool down. I then used a fork to mixed up the frozen mixture, and added the noodles to the mixture and stirred them in. I put the dish back in the freezer, and every 20-30 minutes I would take it back out and stir the contents together again. I did this for the first 4-5 hours, to make sure all the noodles were blended in well with the mixture. Afterwords, I transferred all the contents into a different dish (one with a lid) and placed it back in the freezer. Note: you may want to add some lemon juice when you are prepared to eat it. Edit
