Lychee is a tropical fruit widely grown in some parts of India and China. It has a think reddish brown skin and a pinkish white fruit inside with a seed. The fruit has a sweet taste and perfect for drinks , sauce and are easy to freeze as well.
Ingredients
Lychee - Feel free to use fresh or canned lychees both works well for the recipe. Canned lychee is easily available in amazon , Walmart, Whole Foods and in most supermarkets.
Condensed Milk - For the sweetness and texture we use condensed milk. It helps in skipping the corn flour or any other thickening agents to the ice cream. Swap with any non dairy condensed milk for a vegan version.
Heavy Cream - Forms the base of the ice cream. It helps in a creamy and perfect texture. For a vegan version use coconut cream or any other non dairy heavy cream.
