*INGREDIENTS:

Fresh Litchi - 10 (adjust as per your taste preference)

Whole Milk - 1 Cup

Sugar - 1 tsp (adjust according to the taste)

Heavy Cream - 3/4 Cup

Condensed Milk - 1/4 Cup

*STEPS:

1)First, peel the skin of the litchi, remove the seeds and chop them into small pieces.

2)Add the milk to a pan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the flame to low-medium and add the litchi pulp to the milk and let it simmer for 15 - 20 mins. By this time, the quantity of milk would have reduced to half and the litchi flavour would have infused into the milk. Turn off the flame and let the mixture sit till it reaches to room temperature.

3)Transfer the milk and litchi to a mixie/blender and blend it until smooth.

4)Optionally, use a fine mesh to filter out the remaining pulp. Transfer back the filtered milk into the mixie, add the condensed milk, heavy cream and give it 3 - 4 pulses until the mixture is nice and creamy.

5)Transfer the creamy mixture to a small bowl. Break all the bubbles on top using the back of a spoon and leave it in the freezer until set. I left it overnight in the freezer.

6) Scoop the ice cream, top it with some freshly chopped litchi and enjoy the treat.

*NOTES:

• Add the litchi into the milk after the flame is reduced.. If the milk is still boiling, there is a chance that the milk will be spoiled.
• You can miss grinding the litchi pulp if you want bits of fruit in the ice cream. You can skip filtering the litchi and milk mixture. I used a filter because I like a smooth ice cream.
• Just give a few pulses after adding condensed milk. Don’t mix the mixture for a long time. Otherwise the, the butter would separate from the cream and float on top of it.
• Alternatively, you can also pour the mixture into ice cream pop molds and freeze for wonderful and refreshing Litchi pops.
