Chikoo Ice Cream Recipe
Relish the sweet, creamy goodness of Chikoo Ice Cream - a rich and indulgent treat that will tantalise your taste buds.
The ice cream has a distinctive and unique taste, which is quite similar to vanilla ice cream but with a distinct Chikoo flavour.
Chikoo has a slightly grainy and custard-like texture with a subtle caramel taste. Some people also describe its taste as a combination of caramel, pear, and brown sugar with a hint of cinnamon.
Now, blend that exotic flavour with the creamy, smooth, and velvety texture of ice cream, and you have yourself an irresistible dessert.
No wonder, Chikoo Ice Cream is enjoyed in many parts of the world.
To enjoy its perfect taste, it is important to use ripe and flavourful Chikoo fruit. The fruit should be peeled and de-seeded, and the flesh should be pureed until smooth. You can blend the fruit with an electric blender or mixie until it reaches a soft and creamy texture.
Once you’ve prepared the ice cream, freeze it until it is firm but still scoopable. The ice cream should be served at the right temperature, when it is slightly soft but not melted. This ensures perfect taste and texture, which is a rich, creamy texture and a sweet, caramel-like flavour that is balanced and not overpowering.
