Storage

FAQ
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.
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
- Always chill the cream before use.
- Do not use frozen thickened cream.
- 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.,
- Use as many gulab jamun as you want to add. But note that it will increase the sweetness of the ice cream.
- 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.
- Covering the ice cream with a wrap before freezing will prevent ice crystal formation.
- For the best ice cream gulab jamun flavour, freeze it overnight.
