Kesar pista ice cream | Glutenfreewhisk
An ice cream with your favorite flavors just hits the right notes when you are craving it. And when you can use all natural ingredients to make kesar pista ice cream at home then it is absolutely divine. And the best part is it has alcohol in it that just make it better and even more tasty. Because why not, when making fresh ice cream at home adding a shot of best paired alcohol seems like the right thing to do.
This is episode 7 for summer recipes and sharing an ice cream recipe at home which is a favorite of many and super fun to make. I have paired my kesar pista ice cream with rum because rum has a sweet note to it and it does not have a very strong or sharp flavor note as gin has. And dark rum seems like the right combination with Kesar and pistachios. In the past I have made more ice cream flavors at home, and all are different from each other. If you are a coffee lover, then try my recipe for coffee ice cream with vodka. If you are a fruit lover, then try my persimmon ice cream that tastes exactly like honey. Persimmon is such an amazing fruit, and you have to try it if you haven't tried it yet. Great health benefits and tastes so good and it sets like jelly naturally if you puree and refrigerate it.
Summer season calls for ice cream daily. I know this is the unhealthiest statement ever, but these ice cream flavors are just so amazing that you will want to have them daily. To make ice cream at home you don't need any fancy ice cream maker but just an electric whisker and you are sorted. And obviously the right ingredients. If you don't have an electric whisker and still crave for healthy ice creams because you are on a diet, then try these two guilt free ice flavors. Creamy mango ice cream and Lactose free ice cream recipe. Both of these are ice cream on a stick, and they are small sized so that you can keep the portion in control or maybe eat two at a time because they are healthy and super delicious.
If you are looking for silicon mould for ice cream on stick recipe then, I got this 8-cavity silicon ice cream mould that I have converted into 4 cavity each because 8 cavities are super difficult to carry. Thus, if you are buying then I will recommend 4 cavity big and oval silicon mould for ice cream as they are easier to carry to your refrigerator without causing any mess and without requiring an army to help you.
The best part about kesar pista ice cream at home is that there is no added color. That horrible green shade of ice cream that you get in the market is scary and bad because it has so many coloring agents that are toxic. Make pista ice cream at home with natural ingredients. Just a few ingredients, 15 minutes and patience for it to set in freezer and you are good to go. Just soak the saffron in warm water or milk for minimum of 15 minutes prior to starting to make your ice cream. Use good quality saffron to get the best color.
If you are looking for some organic saffron then try Two brothers organic farm Kashmiri Mongra Saffron.
