Rose Water desserts

I see this in Persian food a lot - but I dont have any recipes on my hands.

I know a diabetic, and it irritates him so much that he can’t have sweet stuff.

But I’ve come to know that rosewater is used in a lot of eastern desserts, and it has no sugar in it.

Jalaab is one, although the dates would add sugar to the drink.

Do you guys know of any desserts using rosewater as a sweetner that dont have any sugar in it?

Re: Rose Water desserts

^ maybe b/c its in the hot syrup that you pour onto the baklava. most of the syrups have rose water or orange blossom water in them.
