About Tutti Frutti Ice Cream

Tutti Frutti Ice Cream is a very old flavour in Indian ice cream shops. The name comes from Italian and it means all fruits. Tutti frutti is made from raw papaya which is cooked in sugar and coloured. This remembers me of ice cream from school days.

The texture is thick and smooth like a normal vanilla ice cream. It melts slowly in the mouth and the tutti frutti gives a soft chewy bite. The colour is creamy white with red and green pieces on top. The taste is mildly sweet and not too heavy.

You can make changes in this ice cream in a few ways, you can just add some chopped cashews or raisins for more taste. You can also use a little rose syrup in place of vanilla essence. A scoop of this with warm brownie is also very tasty.

I make this ice cream for small get together at home. The kids always pick out the red tutti frutti pieces first. So I keep some extra pieces to put on top while serving.

Tutti Frutti Ice Cream Ingredients

• Cream - I used frozen whipping cream for this recipe. You can use fresh cream also but keep it well chilled.
• Milk - I add boiled and cooled milk to loosen the cream. It helps the mixture to blend smoothly. You can use cold milk only.
• Powdered Sugar - I use powdered sugar for sweetness. It mixes well with the cream and there are no grains in the ice cream. You can reduce it if you like less sweet.
• Milk Powder - I added milk powder for a rich taste. It also makes the ice cream thick and creamy. You can skip it if you do not have it.
• Vanilla Essence - I use vanilla essence for a soft aroma. It takes away the smell of the cream. You can use homemade vanilla extract also.
• Tutti Frutti - I added tutti frutti for the colour and the chewy bite. It gives a sweet fruity taste in every spoon. You can use a mix of red and green pieces.

Expert Tips

• Chill the bowl - I keep the mixing bowl in the refrigerator for some time. Cold bowl helps the cream to whip faster.
• Whip till soft peaks - I stop whipping when soft peaks form. Too much whipping makes the cream grainy and it looses the smooth texture.
• Add sugar slowly - I add the powdered sugar after the cream is thick. It mixes evenly and the cream does not turn watery.
• Fold gently - I fold the tutti frutti using a spatula. Fast stirring remove the air and the ice cream becomes heavy.
• Dust the tutti frutti - I toss the pieces in a spoon of milk powder before adding. They stay spread and do not sink to the bottom.
• Cover well - I place the butter paper on top and then close the lid. It stops the ice crystals from forming on the surface.

Serving and Storage

Serve this chilled in small bowls and you can add few more tutti frutti on top for serving and it goes well as dessert after meals or during parties at home. Keep the box outside for few minutes before scooping so it is easy to take. Store in freezer in a closed container with butter paper and use within few days for best taste and texture and it stay good when stored properly.
