This Litchi Icecream is a frosty delight to everyone’s taste buds 😉 ……. I have used canned litchis as fresh litchis are not available. Nevertheless the Icecream tasted great. I am sure fresh litchis will give a different flavor and taste to it. Litchi Icecream is made only with 6 ingredients. The ingredients are fresh cream, orange juice, brown sugar, vanilla powder and canned sweetened litchi. That’s it no icecream maker Or any tough process required.
I love litchis would love to eat them all around the year. I wish Mumbai was a hill station lols lots of fruits like strawberries, mulberries, raspberries, cranberries, blueberries. In short I would have got to eat all berries 🙂
A tin of sweetened litchi was lying in my fridge. So I decided to make a delicious dessert with these litchis. So without wasting further time lets make this tasty dessert!
