  1. Made this today for my guests, I added about 2 tablespoon honey to each serving. Thank you for sharing! It was superb!
     
  2. I really like it! I love persian cusine. My husband is from Iran. He is making very similar cream. It's very refreshing.
     
  3. What a lovely cream to serve with berries. Such a wondeful and different flavour with the addition of rosewater. Although I couldnt find rosewater so I used rosewater essence, but next time will cut the essence to 1/2 tablespoon, but apart from that I followed the recipe exactly and it was wonderful. The rosewater adds such a fantastic flavour to the cream. Great recipe Fairy Nuff, will be making this again to serve with fresh berries, when we have them.
     
  4. I halved the recipe and we had this luscious, flavoursome cream over some fresh strawberries. It provided the perfect complement to the strawberries. This is one of those recipes where following the instructions closely is crucial or you face disappointment – and failure of one sort or another. I'm glad to have found this recipe and I’ll make it more confidently next time. Really clear instructions, and thank you for posting it, Fairy Nuff!
