This World Ice Cream Day, use your favourite Indian fruits to make creamy homemade ice cream. Filled with natural sweetness and flavours that refresh your palate, they are an effortless way to make delectable frozen treats without depending on artificial store-bought taste enhancers.
Pick ripe Alphonso, Kesar, or Banganapalli mangoes to make creamy mango-flavoured ice cream. Their rich pulp blends effortlessly with milk or yoghurt, making it everyone's summer favourite treat.
Jamun gives a beautiful purple shade and a light tangy flavour if used in ice cream. Blend the pulp with fresh cream or Greek yoghurt to get a dessert that soothes your palate.
Creamy custard apple pulp blends effortlessly in the ice cream base, giving it a naturally rich consistency without any artificial flavourings. Remember to remove the seeds before blending.
The sweet, juicy litchies are perfect for making light and aromatic ice cream. Pair them with a splash of lemon juice or rose water to enhance their light floral taste.
Chikoo's caramel-like sweetness makes it perfect to use in homemade ice cream. It gives a smooth, silky texture and pairs perfectly with cardamom or cinnamon to boost the flavour.
