Kesar Pista Ice Cream

Kesar Pista Ice Cream is a very simple and quick ice cream to prepare. It does not contain egg, and can be prepared without using an ice cream machine too. I have used pistachios (pista) and saffron (kesar) here, but almonds (badam) can also be used instead of pistachios. The colour of the ice cream obtained might be slightly different than as seen in the market, as most of them add food colouring to it. The fresh home-made flavour is any day better than the ones available outside. It is important to get the right consistency and creamy texture for this recipe to be a success. So beat the summer heat with chilled Kesar Pista Ice Cream and relish every bite of this smooth and silky dessert.
