Falooda Ice cream

W
e were missing summer holidays used to have back in India when we were kids. Summer and ice cream are like couple made for each other and I bet everybody will agree with me. Though there is fun to eat ice cream in winter but can't beat the
perfect duo.

Final exams are over and now kids are free to have fun; go to movies, park, traveling but one thing will remain constant is ice cream. I remember the final day of final exam of every year; we used to plan that in advance and for sure we ended it on sweet note.

Our friends were coming for casual get together and we thought what could be better than good old falooda. So here is my attempt with extra few touches to take you back down the memory lane...

Ingredients-
  • One pack falooda mix (got it in Indian store & it contains noodles and sabja seeds)
  • any two flavors of ice cream
  • whipped cream
  • cashew nuts
  • strawberry or any flavor of jam (optional)
Method-
  1. Follow the directions on pack of falooda mix and prepare it in advance. [ Tip- It may take more time than mentioned on packet to get thick and it gets thicker when you put it in refrigerator for cooling]
  2. Take out ice cream from freezer 10 minutes before serving.
  3. Take two tablespoon of jam add little water and put it in microwave for few seconds.Mix it well and strain it using tea strainer and chill the sauce(This is totally optional)
  4. In ice cream cup put a layer of falooda mix put one scoop of ice cream and mix it little bit. Then put second scoop and do the same procedure. (for those who have sweet tooth like me put extra one scoop)
  5. Then top it with some whipped cream(optional)
  6. Garnish it with some cashew nuts and and some sauce that we made earlier and it's ready to dig in.
