About Vanilla Milkshake

Vanilla Milkshake is so easy and quick to make. Just blend the ingredients together to get a creamy shake but the proportions are really important to get the perfect tasting milkshake just like in cafe or restaurant. The subtle sweetness, creamy texture and mild vanilla flavor makes this shake refreshing and tastes delicious.

Vanilla Milkshake is just made with 4 basic ingredients which includes cold milk, vanilla ice cream, sugar and vanilla essence. Indian style Vanilla Milkshake is just perfect for get together or kids parties. Ice cream is added to make the shake rich and more creamy, alternatively you can add frozen milk too.

This Vanilla milkshake has a pleasantly rich sweet taste as it combines ice cream and milk. Vanilla is the basic flavor, it is one of the popular among other flavors too. So it is obvious that Vanilla Milkshake though simple gains much attention and popularity among other shakes.

This can be just had with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. As we are adding ice cream while blending the shake, I prefer whipped cream topping along with sprinkles looks and feels tempting.

Vanilla Milkshake - 2 ways

• Vanilla Milkshake with icecream - This is a classic combination of just blending chilled milk along with sugar , vanilla icecream and vanilla essence.
• Vanilla Milkshake without icecream - This is slightly a low fat version replacing icecream. Freeze 2 cups of milk overnight until fully frozen then add it along with milk, vanilla essence a little more of sugar and blend until thick and creamy.

Vanilla Milkshake Ingredients

• Milk - Use full fat milk especially for milkshakes to get creamy smooth shake just as in restaurants. Boil cool down then chill the milk.
• Ice cream - I have used vanilla icecream here. If you do not want to use icecream then freeze 2 cups milk and add it while blending replacing icecream.
• Vanilla extract - Though we use vanilla ice cream I use a dash of vanilla extract or essence to get the punch. I have used homemade vanilla extract. But if you don't have vanilla essence then just skip it and use just vanilla ice cream.
• Sugar - Though sugar is optional I love to add it to lift the sweetness.

How to make Jelly Custard Popsicles Step by Step

1.Boil milk(reserve a tablespoon of milk) for 5 minutes until its bubbles up nicely. Simmer and then add sugar. Mix well.

2.To a tablespoon of milk add custard powder, mix well to form a runny paste without any lumps. Add this to simmering milk.

3.Keep cooking ,slowly it will get thick.

4.Cook in low flame and keep mixing so that there are no lumps. At one stage the custard will nicely form a thick coating, it will coat the ladle like this, it should be thick as shown below. At this stage, switch off and cool down completely.

5.Now take your jelly cubes and add it to the custard mixture. Mix gently.

6.Spoon the mixture into your favorite popsicle mold till ¾th.

7.Close with lids and freeze at least for 6-8 hours. I freeze it over night. Then carefully show the bottom part in running tap water, set aside undisturbed for at least 2-3 minutes then slowly pull out the lid.

Serve immediately.

Expert Tips

• Custard - I usually cook it till slightly thick but still pourable. Once it cools down, it becomes thicker, so don't overcook.
• Mixing jelly - Always cool the custard completely before adding jelly cubes, else jelly will start melting. I made that mistake once.
• Sweetness - I always taste the custard before freezing because after freezing sweetness reduces little bit. You can add little more sugar if needed.
• Unmolding - When removing, I dip the bottom part of mold in water for few seconds and wait before pulling out. It comes out clean and neat.
• Flavor idea - You can try different jelly flavors for colorful look. Mango with rose or pineapple with orange works really good.

Serving and Storage

Serve Jelly Custard Popsicles chilled straight from freezer. You can sprinkle few chopped nuts on top while serving to make it look rich. It tastes best when eaten soon after unmolding as it melts slightly fast. If making ahead, keep it covered tightly and freeze up to 2 days.

FAQS

1.Can I use readymade custard?

Yes, you can use instant custard mix too, just make sure it is thick enough before adding jelly.

You can skip but then it will be just custard popsicle. Jelly adds nice color and taste.

4.Which jelly flavor suits best?

I feel rose, strawberry and pineapple are my top picks. You can try any based on what you like.

About Rose Falooda

Falooda is actually a very popular dessert in India and also in some other parts of Asia. Traditionally it is made with rose syrup and milk along with some toppings like sabja seeds and vermicelli. The rose flavor is the highlight here and it blends so well with chilled milk and ice cream.

The texture of this dessert is really something special. You get the soft jelly, the chewy vermicelli, the crunchy seeds and the creamy ice cream all in one glass. It feels heavy but in a nice way, so even one glass keeps you full and satisfied. The rose syrup gives a sweet floral taste which is very different from regular milk based desserts.

There are many variations of falooda you can try. You can alos add fruits or nuts, some use different flavored ice creams like mango or chocolate. You can even change the jelly flavor if you like. But rose falooda is always the classic one, the color itself looks so tempting.

I usually make this during weekends when family wants something chilled and fun. It is a bit of work because you have to prepare the jelly, boil milk and vermicelli, soak sabja seeds and all. But once you keep everything ready, assembling is very quick and everyone loves it.

Rose Falooda Ingredients

• Rose jelly - I have used rose jelly for giving that soft wobbly bite and lovely rose taste. You can also make jelly in orange or mango flavor if you like twist.
• Rose syrup - This is for the main flavor, it gives a sweet floral taste and bright pink color to milk. If you do not have rose syrup, you can mix rose essence with sugar.
• Fine vermicelli - I have used thin vermicelli, cooked till soft. It gives a nice chewy texture in falooda. You can replace with thin sevai or even pasta if nothing else is available.
• Milk - I boiled and cooled milk so it becomes little thick and creamy. It is the base of falooda so use full cream milk for better taste. If you want lighter version, you can even use toned milk.
• Ice cream - I topped with vanilla ice cream which goes well with rose. You can use mango, strawberry or even chocolate ice cream for variation.
• Sabja seeds - These seeds swell up when soaked and give a nice crunchy texture. They are also cooling for body. If you do not have sabja, you can use chia seeds.
• Water - This is for soaking seeds and cooking vermicelli. Always use enough water so nothing sticks or becomes mushy.

How to make Rose Falooda Step by Step

1.Take a handful of fine vermicelli, Boil water and add to it. Water should be little more than the immersing level.

2.Cook until soft. Rinse it well, drain and set aside.

3.Soak sabja seeds in water, strain and set aside. Chop jellies roughly, Set aside. Boil milk, let it simmer for 15 minutes or until slightly thick, Switch off and set aside to cool.

4.Take milk in a bowl, add rose syrup. My rose syrup had sugar in it so I didn't add sugar. If you are adding rose essence then add sugar. Mix well, transfer to a jug.

5.Chill rose milk, Chill the serving glass at least 30 minutes before assembling. Get ready with your ingredients.

6.First add a layer of jelly at the bottom. Then add rose syrup.

7.Then add a layer of cooked vermicelli. Then add a layer of sabja.

8.Now add chilled rose milk. This will come to ¾th of the glass.

9.Now scoop vanilla ice cream and add it. Garnish with rose jelly.

Serve chilled.

Expert Tips

• Milk - I usually simmer the milk for few minutes to get a slight thick consistency. It gives better taste and blends well with rose syrup.
• Vermicelli cooking - Make sure to cook vermicelli in enough water, rinse well so it is not sticky. If sticky, it will spoil the layering.
• Chilling - I always chill both milk and serving glasses for some time before assembling. It keeps falooda cold for long.
• Sabja seeds - Soak sabja at least 15 minutes before. They should swell properly and not be hard inside.
• Layering order - I start with jelly at bottom and ice cream at top. It looks nice and each layer gets balanced flavor.

Serving and Storage

Serve Rose Falooda with a scoop of ice cream on top and some extra jelly pieces for garnish. This goes well after a meal or even as a evening treat. Leftover milk mixture can be stored in fridge for a day.

Assembled falooda should be enjoyed fresh as jelly and vermicelli can turn soggy later. If storing, keep each element separate and put together just before serving.

FAQS

1.Can I skip sabja seeds?

Yes you can, but sabja gives nice texture and cooling effect, so I suggest not to skip unless you really do not have.

2.Can I make this in advance?

You can prepare milk, jelly, vermicelli and sabja ahead. But assemble only at serving time so everything stays fresh.

3.Can I add fruits in this falooda?

Yes you can add chopped mango, strawberry or apple pieces. They give extra taste and make it more colorful.

4.Can I use ready made rose milk?

If you have ready made rose milk, you can directly use it. But homemade with syrup has more fresh taste.

Expert Tips

• Zesting orange - I have used small grater to take zest. I don't grate the white part as it gives bitter taste. You can always zest just before baking for freshness.
• Mixing batter - I usually fold the flour gently after mixing wet ingredients. If you whisk too much cake may become dense. You can just mix until no lumps.

About Strawberry Cream Parfait

Strawberry Cream Parfait is a simple layered dessert. The layering of the ingredients and the creating a visual impact adds beauty to the dessert. It is one of our favorite recipes as this recipe can be customized with any ingredient.

You can add more fruits and switch the biscuit flavors. You can also drizzle some chocolate ganache and make it an interesting version of the parfait.

Strawberry Cream Parfait is known for its simple ingredients, and I like to call it “Busy-Day Dessert”. There is no additional work involved in making this recipe, as there is no cooking involved, and in minutes, the dessert is ready.

The base is white fresh cream that is whipped to perfection, icing sugar that blends well with the cream, adding sweetness, and a perfect canvas for layering. Then come the strawberries, adding their own tardiness to the dessert while the Oreos add the chocolate crunch. The surprise ingredient is the crunchy cornflakes, playfully adding its vibe to the dessert.

The fun part was making this dessert with my little one. Excited as ever, she pitched in, while I was ever ready for any kind of help. While she whisked the cream, I was getting ready for the shoot.

By the time she crushed the biscuit with a rolling pin, I trimmed the strawberries and soak them in water for few minutes. She loves them, and this is her favorite dessert. And I was creating memories with her while making my favorite dessert.

Strawberry Cream Parfait Ingredients

• Fresh cream – I used fresh cream which comes in a 200 g pack. I have used an electric whisker to beat the cream.
• Powdered sugar/icing sugar – It is important to use quality sugar. Remove the impurities, if any, and finely powder them. This adds sweetness to the dessert. You can control the sweetness as per your choice. This is an important part, as sugar will help in balancing the tanginess of the strawberries.
• Strawberries – I make them when strawberries are in season. Trim the leaf part and chop it into small cubes. You can add a few chunks to the mousse as per your preference.
• Biscuits – I have used Oreo biscuits as they were readily available in my pantry. You can replace it with a normal or any other chocolate cookie.
• Cornflakes – This is the crunch part of the recipe. Crush them slightly before adding them to the dessert.

Expert Tips

• Whip the cream - It is always advisable to use chilled cream and a chilled bowl. Whip till you have soft peaks. Over-whipping may turn the cream grainy.
• Testing the strawberries - Taste the strawberries first before laying them. If you find them tart, you can sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar and let them rest for 10-15 minutes before using. It will release its juices.
• Layering – This step is essential as the layers hold their own beauty in the dessert. Go for a transparent glass jar where the layers can be seen. You can use a piping bag to pipe the cream.
• Crunch element – Set the whole dessert and add the biscuit and cornflakes before serving. For a healthier version of this parfait, add granola or muesli. The taste may differ, but it is delicious.

The combination of vanilla and chocolate is so good as it is a match made. Homemade popsicles are best as you can customize it according to your liking.

The very first time I made this Popsicle, the idea itself was exciting for my little one. My little one kept opening the freezer door every half an hour just to check if they were ready.

The simple joy of making popsicles during summer is very special to me. I tried my hand with vanilla popsicles first to check if they were truly worth the try, and everyone at home was in love with the Popsicle.

This time, I wanted to add a twist to the Popsicle and added a chocolate layer. It was truly exciting to see both the flavors coming together, where vanilla is simple and light, while the chocolate adds a rich flavor.

Vanilla Chocolate Popsicle Ingredients
