Yields4 ServingsPrep Time30 minsTotal Time30 mins

Arabic Ice cream (Arabic: بوظة, Booza) is a kind of ice cream with a consistency similar to mozzarella cheese. It is produced through a process of pounding and stretching in a freezer drum, instead of the more usual churning method used in other ice creams. Traditionally, booza ingredients include milk, cream, and a plant resin (mastic).

 2 cups cream, liquid
 1 tsp mastic, grounded
 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
 1 1/2 cup pistachio, grounded
1

Put the cream in a mixing bowl.

2

Whisk cream well until it becomes brittle and creamy.

3

Add the ground mastic.

4

Add sweetened condensed milk.

5

Whisk again well.

6

Prepare the parchment paper on the surface you want to work on, and distribute ground pistachios.

7

Over parchment paper spread the creamy mixture on the edge of the parchment paper on top of the pistachio nuts, and roll the ice cream with parchment pepper.

8

Close the ends and freeze for at least 4 hours.

Remove the ice cream from the freezer and cut it into circles and serve it cold.
