Recipe Notes
Why have I named it Fusion Ice Cream?Because it has ingredients of the normal ice cream including Vanilla Essence.Plus it has Indian ingredients like khoya/mawa and one very special exotic ingredient!That is – Nannari Syrup!
What is Nannari Syrup?
Nannari is a herb,the official name for which is ‘Sarasaparilla’ which is known for its cooling properties and speciality to cure summer ailments!Just as we pour Chocolate,Maple,Caramel or Toffee sauces over our normal ice creams,I have poured this over this fusion ice cream and it tastes so good!You can get Nannari Syrup online from Amazon or eBay stores.Those in the South Indian regions will have it available at any supermarket or store and so can get it easily.Its an orangish,amber,wonderfully sweet,cooling and refreshing syrup which is used with water or soda to make a drink or used with milk based preparations as well.I have used this with my ice cream and it was fabulous.
Additional Tips
- For a delightful twist, fold in small bits of candied orange peel or finely chopped pistachios just before freezing to add bursts of flavor and texture that complement the khoya and orange base.
- If you prefer a more pronounced South Indian flair, infuse the cream with a few crushed cardamom pods while heating, then strain before mixing with other ingredients for a subtle aromatic note.
- To ensure a smoother texture without ice crystals, whip the cream until soft peaks form before gently folding it into the khoya-condensed milk mixture, then freeze in a shallow metal tray, stirring every hour for the first 3 hours.
- For serving, scoop the ice cream into chilled bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of freshly grated coconut or a light drizzle of warm jaggery syrup for an extra layer of fusion flavor.
