Ingredients
1 liter vanilla ice cream
8 – 10 paan leaves – finely chopped or make puree
4 tbsp gulkand (rose petal jam)
2 tbsp fennel seed (crushed)
2 tsp mishri (sugarcandy)
3 dates – chopped
8 mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
⅛ tsp mint extract
Few drops green food coloring
Coconut for garnish
Directions
- First, take the vanilla ice cream and leave for about 5 minutes or until it is a little soft.
- Take a big bowl and mix the ice cream with a spatula.
- Add paan leaves, mishri, chopped dates, and mint extract.
- Mix and add green color. Make sure to mix well.
- Pour into ice cream cups or any box. Put in the freezer overnight.
- Garnish with paan chutney, coconut, mint leaves, and fennel seeds.
Notes
- If you’d prefer it to be less sweet or don’t have vanilla ice cream, use a pint (small carton) of heavy whipping cream instead of vanilla ice cream. Make puree from the paan and milk mixed together instead of chopping.
