3. Cherry Ice Cream
Cherries have a strong sweet flavour that makes excellent ice cream. If you want pink flavoured ice cream and are tired of strawberries then cherry is the way to go. Puree your cherries before adding to your ice cream base so that the skin of the cherry does not come into your mouth.
4. Litchi Ice Cream
While some people say that litchi tastes like a grape with a hint of rose, others say it tastes more like a pear or watermelon. But one thing that everybody can agree on is that it tastes like monsoons. Puree your litchi and then add it to your ice cream for the best result.
Mix crushed peaches to your base
5. Peach Ice cream
Another fleshy fruit with a soft texture, peach is a juicy succulent fruit that leaves mini flavourful explosions in your mouth. This is a great fruit that embodies monsoon fun. To make the ice cream, use crushed peaches, not pureed peaches, as by crushing the peach you are allowing the juices of the fruit to blend with your ice cream and the pulp will become a pleasant surprise.
