Buransh Brownie Ice Cream

Buransh Brownie Ice Cream

I would not encourage you to steal your neighbor's rhododendron flowers to make a buransh extract—unless they aren't looking, or you choose to share this ice cream with them. Also, try saying the word 'buransh' with an outwardly raised index finger if you really want to say it like an Indian uncle.

Buransh, a Hindi term for rhododendron, thrives in Uttarakhand, a northeastern state in India adjacent to Nepal. Depth N Green produces a unique buransh extract, incorporating rose petals during its creation. This extract lends a distinct floral taste to the ice cream, perfectly complementing a chocolatey brownie with its rich flavor profile.


  1. Blend the evaporated milk, buransh extract and jaggery until the jaggery is completely dissolved.
  2. Blend the heavy cream for 10 seconds, until just combined being sure not to incorporate any air into the batter.
  3.  Churn in your ice cream maker according to the machines instructions.
  4.  Add pieces of your favorite brownies to the ice cream before freezing. I often use the brownie recipe by Stella Parks if I want a fudge-y brownie or even store-bought, two-bite brownies if in a hurry.
