Serving Suggestions
This recipe makes two standard size falooda which you can serve in tall glasses, the traditional way. If making smaller portions, this recipe can make four to six servings depending on portion sizes. Serve this immediately after making as the ice cream will begin to melt.
Storage
You have to serve this dessert immediately as soon as you assemble it. This is because the ice cream will melt. This is a crowd pleaser and easy to make one. You can prep the previous day and just assemble it while you are serving it. Or you could have a dessert bar where the guests could build their own falooda and trust me, this is a huge hit. Always!
