One of the most delicious of icecreams is the one made with Lychees. It’s mild fragrance and sweet undertones make it an icecream lover’s delight! You may add sugar as per your choice or totally skip it. Here I have added a little since I was serving guests.
Ingredients:
1/2 litre full cream milk
2tsps corn flour
30 lychees peeled and deseeded
2 heaped tbsps sugar.
Method:
Bring the milk to a boil. Keep three tbsps of milk aside. Keep on boiling the remaining milk till it is reduced to three fourth of the quantity. Add the cornflour to the milk kept aside and mix it well. Pour it into the boiling milk in a steady stream, continuously stirring the milk. Allow to simmer for about three minutes. Switch off, cover and allow the milk to come to room temperature.
Puree the deseeded lychees along with the sugar in a blender. Add it to the milk and mix thoroughly. Transfer this mixture to an airtight container and put it in the freezer.
After an hour, mix it again. This has to be repeated again after another hour. Allow the ice cream to set for 5 hours. Remove and run it through the blender one last time. This is done to prevent crystallization. Pour it back into the container. Cover tightly and allow to set in the freezer. Home made lychee icecream is ready to serve.
