Nolen Gur Ice Cream
Ingredients:
- 300 ml double Cream
- 150 grams Nolen Gur or Date palm jaggery
- 150 grams Nolen gur Sandesh
- 170 grams of Evaporated milk
- 2-3 tablespoons water, to melt the Nolen gur
- Jhola gur or melted Nolen gur, for drizzling (1 teaspoon for each scoop)
Instructions:
- Take a heavy bottom non-stick pan and put it over the lowest flame.
- Add 150 grams nolen gur or date palm jaggery into the pan.
- Add 3 tablespoons of water into the pan and melt the nolen gur at the lowest flame.
- When the nolen gur gets soft due to heat, make small pieces of it with the help of a spatula and rotate them at regular intervals, or else the jaggery will get stuck to the bottom and the flavour of nolen gur may get spoiled.
- Melt the nolen gur completely over the lowest heat. Be patient at this step. For me, it took 5-6 minutes for the whole procedure.
- Then transfer the melted nolen gur to a separate bowl immediately and allow it to cool down.
- Note: If you don’t have Jhola gur (Liquid Nolen gur) then take out 2 tablespoons of the melted nolen gur to another bowl and mix it with ½ tablespoon of water. Use it for pouring over the top of the ice cream later during the time of serving.
Take a mixing bowl and add a can of 170 grams of evaporated milk into it. - Add 150 grams nolen gurer Sandesh into the mixing bowl.
- Add the melted nolen gur into the bowl.
- Mix all the ingredients with the help of a hand mixer. Don’t mix them till smooth. Make sure there are small nolen gur Sandesh pieces in the mixture. It will give a better taste to the nolen gurer ice cream.
- Cover the mixture and put it into the fridge for at least half an hour to cool down.
Take another mixing bowl and pour the 300 ml double cream into it. - Initially beat the cream with a hand mixer at low speed then slowly increase the speed to medium.
- Beat the cream until the mixture becomes heavy and stiff peaks start coming up. Be careful, don’t overbeat the cream or it will become grainy in texture.
- Add the Sandesh mixture (Step 11) into the cream and whisk it for 2-5 seconds to mix all the ingredients.
- Transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Don’t tap the container after transferring the content.
- Close the lid of the container carefully and put it in the freezer for at least 7-8 hours.
