Paan Ice cream made is from of goodness of beetle leaves, gulkand, tutti frutti, dates, whipping cream and condensed milk. This paan ice cream does not require an ice cream machine. It can be made in couple of minutes with a whipper.

I love this paan ice cream especially after a nice spicy meal. The beetle and gulkand gives a cooling effect. Tutti frutti and fennel seeds brings in the crunchiness.
