Pista Popsicle is a flavourful cool delight made by flavouring milk with pista nuts & essence and freezing it. Pista Popsicle is a chilling choice to manage the scorching heat and a surprise to the family after a weekend lunch!
Pista Ice/ Pista Kuchi Ice as we call it during our school days is my favorite next to Rose milk Ice. I wanted to post it after rose milk ice but somehow it got missed so this time when I saw this essence at Nilgiris, I atonce picked it up and made it the next day and enjoyed it.
I wanted to recreate the pista ice that I had yrs back and this came close to it.
