Faloodeh, often spelled Paloodeh, is a traditional Persian frozen dessert that originated in what is now known as modern-day Iran. It’s comprised of such exotic ingredients as vermicelli rice noodles, cherry syrup, lime juice and rose water, and it’s utterly unlike Western-style ice cream, but it does have certain characteristics with sorbet. Nevertheless, it’s an amazing frozen delicacy unlike anything else you’ll ever taste.
You won’t want to switch back to conventional ice cream after trying Faloodeh, that’s for sure!
The earliest frozen dessert ever made, according to legend, was Faloodeh, which dates back to about 400 BC. It was mostly created by mistake when flavoring syrups were accidentally poured on snow and people realized they could be turned into a tasty delight. Regardless matter where it originated, Faloodeh is a Shiraz native and is usually referred to as Shirazi Faloodeh.
