    Ice cream is the savior

    Don't you think so? If there is no dessert to serve, a tub of ice cream in the fridge comes in handy.

    If you're craving a midnight snack or dealing with a bad day, there is nothing more comforting than dipping into a bowl of ice cream.

    Trending now

    Ice creams are also great to serve at parties, get-togethers, family events, brunches, potlucks, weeknights, and weekends!

    Having a tub of ice cream in the freezer is always a good idea. It makes it extra special if that ice cream is homemade!

    Why guava?

    Legit question. I too had never heard of guava (amrood) ice cream till a couple of years back. A friend of mine introduced me to this ice cream at a local ice cream shop in Mumbai.

    I had it once and became a fan for life. In fact, I converted my whole family to Guava ice-cream lovers! It's a truly unique ice cream and we did give Apsara Ice Cream shop a lot of sales.

    If as a child you have ever had guava slices with chilly powder and salt on top then this ice cream will transport you back to your childhood.

    The whole fruit is edible and tastes like a cross between a strawberry and a pear. It is available on Amazon and in the ethnic aisles of leading grocery stores.

    Do try this ice cream flavor at least once. Even though it's an acquired taste, you will love it. And yes, don't forget to sprinkle chilly powder on top! It's a match made in heaven!

    Interestingly, guava and cream is a popular Cuban and Brazilian dessert recipe as well!

    Why make this

    There are many reasons why you should give the eggless tropical dessert a try! The distinctive flavor and aroma of guavas work like magic in this ice cream recipe.

    • No Ice Cream Maker needed
    • Needs basic pantry ingredients
    • Simple and easy Indian ice cream recipe
    • Great way to enjoy guavas even off-season
    • A refreshing new ice cream flavor that no one can resist

    Ingredients needed

    all the ingredients needed to make guava ice cream placed on a table with labels on them
    That's all you need!

    Guavas - Use fresh and ripe guavas for this recipe. Peel the skin if it's hard. If it's soft, there is no need to peel the skin. Just chop both ends.

    Sometimes ripe guavas will have a slightly pink color to them. It will be soft and give under your fingers when you lightly squeeze it. Even the smell should be sweet and musky.

    You can find them at any grocery store or on Amazon. If you don't have access to fresh fruit, you can also use frozen guava or ready guava pulp that's more easily available.

    Whole milk - Use full-fat whole milk for this recipe. It helps in making the ice cream creamy and smooth.

    Condensed milk and Heavy cream - Give this homemade ice cream a smooth creamy texture especially since this is a no-churn ice cream recipe.

    Powdered sugar is used in this recipe. It also helps in getting the right ice cream texture. You can use any variety of sugar.

    Chilly powder, salt, and black salt are used for garnish.

    Red Food color - This is optional. If your guavas are not pink inside, only then add food color.

    Here's how to make it

    Love guava!
    • The first step is to prep the guavas. If the skin is too hard, peel the skin. Else, chop them with the skin. Slice the guava in half, after cutting off the stem and bottom.
      • Transfer to a blender and add water. Reserve some slices for garnish if you want.
    • Blitz to make a smooth puree. Pass it through a sieve to discard the seeds and keep it aside for now. Add food color (if adding) now. You can also refridgerate it till needed.
    • Prepare the garnish by mixing chilly powder, salt and black salt. Keep it aside as well.

    So easy to make!
    • Also add powdered sugar to the bowl.
    • Next, add the guava puree. If you had reserved some guava slices, chop them finely and add to the bowl at this point.
    • Mix and continue to beat it till its all well combined. When you see bubbles on top, give it a light mix to dissolve the bubbles.
    • Transfer the bowl to a freezer. No need to cover. Let it freeze for 2-3 hours. Then take it out and using a spatula, break the ice cream and stir it all over.
      • This is done to prevent the ice crystals from forming. You can enjoy the ice cream right away as a soft serve if set. Else, freeze it again for 2 more hours.

    Serving suggestions

    Once set, take it out of the freezer and let it sit out at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping.

    Additionally, dip your ice cream scooper in warm water before scooping. It helps.

    Serve up a scoop or two of this Indian ice cream in serving bowls, sprinkle the prepared garnish on top, and enjoy this chilled treat!

    Additionally, you can also sprinkle some toasted fresh coconut or toasted almonds to give a little crunch.

    Serve this guava dessert at your next party and watch your guests go crazy over it! This eggless ice cream can be served for any occasion!

    Tips, recommendations, and suggestions

    You can add fresh or frozen guavas. If you want, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract along with the puree, for enhanced flavor. Use a little evaporated milk to reduce the amount of cream used.

    If you don't have access to fresh fruit, you can also use frozen guava or ready guava pulp or paste that's more easily available.

    Add red food color only if the insides of the guava are not pink. You can also skip adding food color. The color of your ice cream will not have a pink hue then.

    Do not skip the garnish. It gives this ice cream a certain flavor that you can't beat. You can also make this guava recipe in an Ice Cream Maker.

    This no-churn Indian chilly guava ice cream stays good in the freezer for 5-6 months. Just store it in an Ice Cream container that comes with a lid.

    If you want to make homemade vegan guava ice cream, you can use coconut milk, vegan whipping cream, and coconut condensed milk. The rest of the ingredients are vegan-friendly.
