Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Aamrakhand Ice Cream

For an extra creamy texture, use full-fat yogurt and slightly overripe mangoes.
If your mangoes aren't very sweet, you may need to increase the amount of sugar to your liking.
To make the saffron more flavorful, steep the strands in a tablespoon of warm milk or cream for 15-20 minutes before garnishing.
Experiment with other spices like ginger or cinnamon for a unique flavor twist.
