Sign in to savethumb|A dish of booza topped with pistachios served at the Bakdash (ice cream parlor)|Bakdash ice cream shop in [[Damascus|alt=]] Booza () is a frozen dairy dessert. It is traditionally made through a process of pounding and stretching in a freezer drum, instead of the more usual churning method used in other ice creams, leading to a creamy yet dense texture. Orange flower water or rose water are sometimes added for flavoring. The firmness of booza allows it to be shaped into a roll, which is a popular traditional serving method.
