It is a popular ice-cream at many buffets as well as parties. This is a gorgeous rich ice-cream and must for all these who love fruits. Figs are rich in fiber and iron, and both these nutrients play an important role in our diet. Serve small scoops, as this is a very rich ice-cream.

    Binjal.. Lovely pictures! Too tempted to try this one!! Had a query, if i am substituting milk+sugar for condensed milk, what should be the proportion of condensed milk?
    Also, what would give a better result of the two?
