Ramachandra Ganeshan is an executive sous chef at ITC Maurya. With twenty-four years of experience in pastry and bakery, you can count on his recipe for mango recipe and make your own at home.

The chef says, “People generally have many misconceptions about making t ice cream and frozen desserts at home. First off, you should know that frozen desserts and ice creams are two different types of desserts, and yes, you can make them both with perfection at home. Another misconception that I want to clear is that homemade ice cream can taste as good as store-bought. All you need to do is customise the ingredients to your preference, and you can make the creamiest ice cream in your kitchen.”

Recipe: Frozen Yoghurt With Mango

Ingredients:

1.  4 cups of yoghurt
2.   2 cups of whipped cream
3.   1/2 cup of milk
4.   2 teaspoons of sweetened condensed milk
5.   1 cup of mango pulp

Instructions:

1. In a blender, combine the yoghurt, whipped cream, milk, condensed milk, and mango pulp.
2. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, similar to a thick smoothie.
3. Use a good freezer-safe container that can be tightly covered. Pour the blended yoghurt mixture into the container and smooth the surface.
4. Cover the surface of the yoghurt mixture with a piece of parchment paper to prevent ice crystals from forming.
5. Tightly cover the container, place it in the freezer, and freeze for at least 6 hours or until the mixture hardens.
6. When ready to serve, remove the container from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
7. Scoop the frozen yoghurt into bowls or cones and serve with fresh mango slices.

Surabhi Sehgal

Surabhi Sehgal is a culinary artist known for creating visually stunning dishes that resemble works of art. She says, “One common misconception is that making ice cream at home requires fancy equipment. While an ice cream maker can make the process easier, it's not essential. You can still make delicious ice cream using simple tools like a hand mixer or even just a whisk and a freezer.”

Surabhi Sehgal further informs. “Another misconception is that homemade ice cream is difficult to make. With the right recipe and a bit of patience, anyone can whip up a tasty batch at home in no time. Additionally, some people think homemade ice cream is unhealthy, but you can control the ingredients, like substituting sugar with natural sweeteners and fruits and using Greek yoghurt or coconut milk instead of heavy cream.”
