Vegan Falooda – Indian Rose Flavored Dessert

April 6, 2018 by Sanjay Leave a Comment

This classic rose flavored Indian dessert is like a mash-up between an ice cream sundae and a milkshake. Remix the recipe with vegan fruit jel, soy milk, and vegan ice cream for the perfect Vegan Falooda experience.

Vegan Falooda
I declare 2018 as the year of the Vegan Falooda!

Move over Mango Lassi, this bright pink dessert slash drink slash ice cream sundae is poised to take over an Instagram feed near you!

And why is that? Because Vegan Falooda tastes as good as it looks.

Which means, VERY.

But also because this dessert is easier to make than you think. All it takes is a few good ingredients, all of which can luckily be found on Amazon.

 

*A note about the fruit jel: I’ve used the Snack Pack brand of ‘Strawberry Fruit Jel’ which is made of carrageenan instead of gelatin. If you’re having a hard time finding it in stores, Simply Delish makes a wonderful brand of kosher certified vegan fruit gel, as does Bakol. In a real pinch, you can also make your own using agar-agar and fruit juice, if needed.

Ingredients for Vegan Falooda
Vegan Falooda engineering is quite simple, and consists of 6 basic parts (from top to bottom):


Toppings

Ice Cream

Rose Milk

Fruit Jel

Noodles

Basil Seeds
Rose Syrup for Vegan Falooda
Feel free to mix and match ingredients per your taste, but know that
the three MUST HAVE components to a Vegan Falooda are the soaked basil seeds, vermicelli noodles, and rose syrup milk.

These ingredients can be substituted in a pinch, but they’re really the heart and soul of this dessert and should be kept true to its form.

Vegan Falooda Noodles
The other ingredients are optional. Go wild with the toppings.

Pistachios, almonds, cashews, cherries – go for it!

Some people like this more like a milkshake, so there is a nice dollop of ice cream on top, whereas some people like this better as more of a sundae where all of the ingredients sit pretty over a mountain of ice cream.

It’s 2018. You’re in charge of your body and what you put in it.

Vegan Falooda
Personally, I love it in it’s classic form as a
tall glass of YUM.

Serve with a spoon and a wide bubble tea straw, and enjoy the melange of textures that go down with the sweet sweet creaminess of rose milk and ice cream.

Does it get any better than this?
