Many people enjoy preparing ice creams during the summer season. We often make these delights using mango pulp and delish condensed milk. If you think our process and steps executed to make ice cream at this farm are the same, then you are entirely wrong. Today’s easy methods and processes used decades back are nowhere close and do not have any resemblance.
