by Tarla Dalal
Everybody loves a cup of lusciously creamy and tasty ice-cream, but have you ever wondered if there is some way to make it healthy?
Well, here is a Healthy Fig Ice-Cream made with loads of dried figs and cow’s milk. Figs give a nice mouth-feel as well as natural sweetness to the ice-cream, thereby reducing the amount of sugar needed drastically.
We have also avoided condensed milk and used a minimal amount of milk powder instead, to get the necessary creaminess and rich milky taste.
Super tasty and healthy, this ice-cream is sure to make it to your favourites list. However, make sure you have it only occasionally and not frequently.
You can also try a low-fat Kulfi like the Low- Fat Kulfi with Strawberry Sauce .
