Storage & Make Ahead:
This ice cream can be stored in the freezer for up to 5 days.
Alternative Assembly Method:
Line the baking tray with baking paper, leaving an overhang to make it easy to pick up the ice cream once set. Pour the ice cream into the pan and freeze it until completely set, then cut it into perfect Parle-G-sized blocks and sandwich it between two Parle-G biscuits.
The biscuits remain crisper with this method.
Tips & Tricks:
- Do not use any water in the chai base, as it will make the ice cream icy.
- Flavor the chai with any masalas of your choice.
- Make sure the chai has cooled down before adding it to the condensed milk.
- The ice cream will be a little liquid because of the chai, make sure to let it cool and thicken in the freezer for about an hour before pouring it on the Parle-G biscuits, or it will seep through.
- Line the baking tray with baking paper and leave an overhang on both sides to make it easy to remove the set ice cream from the pan. You can simply pull it up using the overhang.
