A pinch of vanilla

3 heaping tablespoons gelatin powder
2 tablespoons rosewater
3 cups milk
3 tablespoons breakfast cream
Mix sugar, cornstarch, ice cream, and milk together. Place over low heat, stirring continuously until it thickens slightly.
Once slightly thickened, remove from heat and add gelatin powder that has been dissolved in a little milk using a double boiler method.
When the mixture cools slightly, add vanilla, rosewater, and cream. Stir until smooth.
Pour into a greased mold and refrigerate until set (about 3 hours minimum).
If you prefer, you can use chocolate or fruit ice cream instead of saffron ice cream.
You can also make multicolored ferni. For this, mix part of the ferni with saffron and another part with cocoa.
