As London & the UK swelters in record breaking heatwave temperatures (June temperatures set new records for 3 days running) it make perfect sense to share with you my favourite artisan Ice Cream shop; called Kabul Sheeryakt.
In the Farsi language the words “Sheer Yakh” literally means Cold Milk, well, Milk Cold (Sheer = Milk and Yakh = Cold) and in Afghanistan it is made with very few ingredients and a lot of effort. Almost no air is incorporated since it is spun by hand, which gives it a very rich consistency, similar to gelato (but actually still more delicate than that).
It is mesmerising watching the Ice Cream making Master as he transforms simple Milk into delicious silky smooth ice cream.
This time consuming process of producing authentic "Home Made Style" Afghani ice cream is really a labour of love; as the method you see used does not use any form of machinary......so you know that it really is home made.
The shop recipe for Sheer-Yakh is:
Boiled/Condensed Milk (hand churned & frozen)
Topped with crumbled Almond
A drizzle of creamy milk
Optional topping of sweet Sev/Noodles

There are several ways of spelling Sheer Yahkh, Shir Yakh, Sheeryakh but the taste is always deliciously the same. (The Sheeryakh is similar in texture & taste as an Indian Kulfi ice cream).
A special thank you to Azizi and all of the team who very much welcomed me and graciously allowed me a privileged glimpse into their "kitchen" to do the videoing.
