One cool thing about this is, the ice cream base is no cook and it comes together in a blender. Even I whipped the cream in my blender. I use amul cream, and use only the thick part of the cream. It has to be super cold and pulse few times to whip it.

It is easy to whip cream in a blender, since for this recipe you don't need it to be stiff peaks. Take care not to over blend, else it may turn into butter.
