Nestle Cream "Ashta"
I was in the middle east for a few weeks a few months ago. Anyways, I was introduced to the following Nestle cream:
It didn't really taste like the cream I'm used to here in North America.
- Have any of you tried this before?
- Can I make it at home?
Best Answer
I haven't had it. As to making it at home: that would be a recipe, which normally is outside of this site's scope. I'll give you 2 links, though, from which I'll try to distill a general description of 'Ashta type cream'.
This type of cream contains:
- Milk, Milk-and-cream or powdered milk
- (corn)starch
- orange blossom or rose water
- sugar.

Answer 2
My family really liked this after they had it on a trip to Oman.
I've never tried to make it, but it can be purchased for not much money at indian/middle eastern food stores. It is a bit hard to find, but in any decent city there should be something. I get mine from a little halal market I also get my lamb and goat from.
It makes excellent mango smoothies.
