Notes

  • The recipe works the best with fresh litchi. However, use frozen or canned litchi if fresh is unavailable.
  • As the season for litchi is short lived, you can peel, deseed the fruit and freeze it for future use. Frozen litchi is not a treat to eat but works well in ice creams and shakes.
  • Make a big batch or a small one, the recipe works well. Maintain the proportions when scaling up or down.
  • The same recipe will work in the ice cream machine too. However, add the litchi milk mixture as the ice cream begins to form.
  • While full fat cream works best for the recipe, use lower fat cream if you desire. The end result will not be as creamy but still works.
