MANGO TULSI ICECREAM

The season of mangoes is almost coming to an end. Summers without icecream are just incomplete. And I couldn’t wait for another 6 months to have these super easy homemade mango icecream. People who are regular readers of my blog must have figured out by now, my immense love for desserts and sweets. This is one thing I just cant skip in the season of mangoes. I make it almost on a daily basis. Its super easy, all you need to have is a handy blender. That’s it.

Yesterday, when I was planning to make it again for one last time, I saw a lot of tulsi plant growing in my backyard. I mostly use tulsi  to make tea and I quite like its taste. It has medical properties as well and is said to fight against cold and cough. Well, I am suffering from cold and cough but still had a craving for icecream’s. So thought of mixing the two, I thought tulsi will neutralize the effect of icecream and hence I can safely have it. (You know, I can give any lame excuse to have icecreams :P).

whenever I am trying something new, I make it in less quantities. Initially I tried this with only my cup of icecream. To my normal mango icecream, I just added some tulsi leaves to the last cup and froze it separately for me. It was nice creamy and fluffy. Also I liked the taste of tulsi in it. For my cold and cough, that excuse wasn’t that lame I feel, it has reduced to some extent. Try this out before the season of mangoes is over; the ingredients and method are written below.
