Paan

Ice Cream

: Creamy No-Churn Indian Dessert With Gulkand

Paan Ice Cream brings together the familiar taste of paan in a chilled, creamy form that works well after heavy meals. Inspired by the traditional meetha paan served across India, this dessert carries the refreshing notes of betel leaves along with the sweetness of gulkand and fennel. It is often served at weddings and festive gatherings where a cooling dessert is preferred. This Indian paan dessert feels rich without being overwhelming, as the herbal freshness balances the cream base. The mixture holds small bites of tutti frutti and cherries, which add both texture and colour, making every scoop slightly different from the next. Served best during summer months, this frozen treat offers a break from usual chocolate or vanilla options. It also works well as a make-ahead dessert since it sets firmly in the freezer and stays good for days when stored properly.
