Finally got around to making the Sicilian Gelo di Melone posted by Manila Spoon – https://plus.google.com/u/0/+ManilaSpoon/posts/TXufidm4CCF

It is remarkably fragrant thanks to the Jasmine essence. Also made a fortuitous discovery in the process – if you don’t have pistachios handy, just blend some soy nuts and fresh mint in a food processor and the taste can be mistaken for pistachios (or as we call it in Bulgarian and in Turkish “Şam Fıstık”).

Used some fancy silicone molds for this, and also, I think the recipe needs a whole lot more corn starch for the jellies to harden.
