- 1 can rasgulla , store bought, 16-18 pieces
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- 6 strawberries , finely chopped
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup blackberries
- 2 kiwis , finely chopped
- 6 kumquats , thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp shaved chocolate
- 3 mint leaves
- 4 tbsp melted chocolate
- 2 tsp freeze dried raspberry powder
- 2 tsp pistachio , coarsely crushed
- 4 cup ice water
- spun sugar or praline
-
Prepare 3 large bowls. In one add ice water, add your rasgullas (with the sugar syrup discarded) in the other and semi-melted vanilla ice-cream (3/4 pint) in the last one.
-
Take one rasgulla and wash it with the ice water and lightly squeeze out the sugar syrup. This will make it nice and fluffy. Put it in the vanilla ice cream bowl. Repeat this with the rest of the rasgullas. Change the water when it becomes cloudy.
-
Add the rest of the melted ice cream (1/4 pint) into the same bowl and press the rasgullas so they are fully submerged.
-
Chill the bowl in the fridge for 4-5 hours.
-
Decorate with the fruits, mint leaves, pistachio, freeze dried raspberry powder, chocolate shavings, melted chocolate, and spun sugar (or praline).
-
To make spun sugar, melt about 3 tbsp sugar on medium heat and turn the gas off when it becomes light brown. Stir vigorously to cool and the color will slightly darken. When it becomes more viscous and thickens, drizzle some onto a piece of parchment paper by moving a spoon back and forth quickly. Pop it in the fridge for 5 minutes and it’s ready to go!

- Any fruit works well as a garnish for this dish as it just adds some acidity to balance the sweetness. Even fruit syrups would work really well.
- Instead of spun sugar, you can use praline or anything other crunchy ingredient you want.

Excellent recipe as well as presentation.
Thanks a lot for your kind words!!💕
Hi – loved the presentation.
Quick question- can this be made ahead in individual bowls to serve later?
Yes, you can make it ahead of time. Just add more icecream while serving, if it gets too dry.
