Sheer Yakh, meaning “frozen milk,” is Afghanistan’s traditional ice cream, made with thickened milk or cream, sugar, cardamom, and rosewater, often folded with chopped pistachios or almonds. It’s typically frozen slowly to develop a dense, chewy texture and served in festive scoops or slices during summer months, weddings, or family gatherings in cities like Kabul.

It’s related to Central Asian and Persian frozen desserts and known for its floral, aromatic profile.
