Tutti frutti ice cream has been a part of our childhood ever since I remember. Back then, it was peachy or candy pink ice cream which made our hears smile. These little cups filled with bits of dried bits of papaya were precious. Ice cream was a rare treat.It still us with the Melbourne weather. Now, we take it a notch higher as we make it a homemade treat. Homemade tutti frutti ice cream is a stuff every child will love. Candy pink tub of goodness which makes every summer happy.
what is tutti frutti ice cream made of?
Tutti frutti is actually dried sugar coated bits of papaya which are mixed with colour. We add a generous quantity of these bits to a rose flavoured ice cream.
Step-by-step instructions for the ice cream
- Mash the paneer or cottage cheese with a spoon. Add 2 tablespoon milk and 3 tablespoon custard powder/tapioca with paneer.
2. Whisk well to ensure the mix is smooth. Keep it aside
3. In a pan, take milk and add cream to it.
4. Now add rose syrup/ Roohafza.
5. Add sugar to the above mix. Let it come to a boil on a slow flame. Keep on whisking
6. Now, turn off the heat once it has come to a boil
7. Add the paneer slurry to the pan. Whisk continuously and let it come to a boil. 
8. Turn of the heat. Move it to a bowl with an ice bath(Fill a bigger bowl with ice & water, keep the second bowl with ice cream mix on top of it) so that it starts getting back to room temperature.
9. Once cool, chill it in the refrigerator for 1 hour. (Optionally, you may add natural food colour, if you want a stronger pink colour. Whip it with a hand blender for few seconds, transfer to a metal bowl ,cover with baking sheet and allow to freeze.
10. Chill it in a freezer for 1 hours or until it has started to set.
11. Using a hand blender, blend the ice-cream again ,allow to freeze, repeat the same after 1 hour(optional)
12. Add tutti frutti to this container,mix with a spoon,cover and allow to freeze untill set.
For best results,freeze the ice cream overnight or 4-6 hours and the tempreture of the freezer should not be the coldest, keep it a level 1 or 2 less, this will allow the ice cream to be scooped easily else it will be too hard.
