    So basically, gulab Jamun ice cream combines the rich, sweet, and aromatic flavours of kala jamun with the cooling texture of ice cream that will melt in your mouth like anything.

    Reasons to🧡 Kala Jamun ice cream

    • It is a 3-ingredient dessert recipe - the biggest reason to make this recipe.
    • It is a delicious, mouth-watering combo of two popular desserts.
    • Ease of preparation.
    • Fresh and homemade, free from preservatives.
    • A versatile recipe - you can adjust the ingredients to your liking.
    • You have more control over sugar and calories.
    • It is a crowd-pleaser and satisfying as people will go for more scoops.
    • Perfect for any occasion.

    Ingredients

    To prepare this ice cream using gulab jamun, you will need only these 3 ingredients!

    Gulab jamun icecream ingredients
    1. Condensed milk- Sweetened condensed milk works best for this recipe as you do not need any other sweetener to add to the ice cream.
    2. Gulab jamun- I have used ready-to-eat Haldiram Gulab jamun to make this Indian Jamun ice cream. It is so convenient to use. You can easily get it at any Indian grocery store or Asian aisle of any supermarket.
    3. Thickened cream- To make this rich, creamy ice cream, use heavy cream/ thickened cream that contains at least 30% fat content.

    • The first step to prepare gulab jamun ice cream is to whisk the chilled cream slightly.
    • Add condensed milk and whisk again with an electric mixer for a minute or less.
    • Add 5-6 gulab jamuns into the ice cream and mix them until you get a thick and creamy consistency. (image below)

    • Chop some gulab jamuns into small bite sizes and scatter them all over the ice cream.
    • Fill the container with half of the remaining ice cream.
    • Top up the remaining crushed/ chopped gulab jamuns and smoothen them with a rubber spatula.
    • Cover this homemade Indian gulab jamun ice cream with a wrap and freeze overnight. (image below)

    When ready to serve, scoop and enjoy this homemade gulab jamun ice cream with optional garnishing of pistachios or nuts. (image below)

    Equipment

    I have used an electric mixer to mix all the ingredients. If it is unavailable, use a hand whisk to mix the ingredients.

    Variations

    • Add nuts for a crunchy and nutty flavour.
    • Top with warm gulab jamun if you do not mind extra sweetness.
    • If you like rose petals, add them on the top for vibrance and depth to the ice cream.

    Storage

    • Store this ice cream with gulab jamun in the freezer.
    • It stays fresh for months.

    FAQ

    Is gulab jamun ice cream gluten-free?

    In this gulab jamun ice cream, I have used ready-made gulab jamun of the Haldiram brand. According to their label claim, these are prepared from wheat flour and semolina, which contain gluten, so sorry, guys, this ice cream is not gluten-free.

    Why is my jamun ice cream not set properly?

    The main reason for the Gulab Jamun ice cream not setting could be the presence of liquid, such as sugar syrup if added by mistake/unknowingly or not keeping the ice cream in the freezer for enough time.

    Tips

    1. Always chill the cream before use.
    2. Do not use frozen thickened cream.
    3. I have not added any flavour as I wanted it to be pure gulab jamun flavoured. Feel free to add if you like vanilla, rose water, kewra, etc.,
    4. Use as many gulab jamun as you want to add. But note that it will increase the sweetness of the ice cream.
    5. Crush/chop gulab jamun into small pieces before adding it to the ice cream if you use a hand whisk. I use an electric mixer, so adding them without crushing will not affect the outcome.
    6. Covering the ice cream with a wrap before freezing will prevent ice crystal formation.
    7. For the best ice cream gulab jamun flavour, freeze it overnight.
