Rose Flavored Tutti Frutti Ice cream



We are entering the 52nd edition of Blogging marathon after a month of mega marathon themed baking.For this edition I have chosen Kids Delight-Creamy Foods which includes ice creams,puddings,custards.As my kids love ice creams a lot and the weather is getting better here,wanted to make some ice cream.
For day 1 I chose to make an ice cream with rose flavor and tutti frutti,as its their favorite.A friend of mine requested to share an ice cream recipe without using ready made sweetened condensed milk.So used the full cream /whole milk to get a nice creamy texture and rich taste.I served the ice cream with some leftover gulab jamun and it tasted heavenly.
