Bastani (Persian: بستنی), locally known as bastani sonnati (Persian: بستنی سنتی "traditional ice cream") or bastani sonnati zaferani (Persian: بستنی سنتی زعفرانی "traditional saffron ice cream"), is an Iranian ice cream made from milk, yolk, sugar, rose water, saffron, vanilla, and pistachios. It is known widely as Persian ice cream. Bastani often contains flakes of frozen clotted cream.[1][2] Sometimes, salep is included as an ingredient.

Āb havij bastani (Persian: آب هویج بستنی) is an ice cream float using carrot juice and occasionally, may be garnished with cinnamon, nutmeg, or other spices.
