Hey there! Ready to amp up your summer cooling game? Here is my simple take on the ultimate summer treat: Falooda as Vimto-infused mango falooda! A tall tumbler filled with sweet, juicy mangoes, creamy ice cream, and vermicelli sev, all chilling with a splash of Vimto syrup. It screams summer vibes in every spoonful!😋
I love how this Mango falooda came together with just what I had in the fridge! Whether it's summer or winter, there's something so satisfying about a tall tumbler of falooda loaded with seasonal fruits. Unlike Vimto-flavored chocolate cake or Vimto tiramisu, this falooda is a quick fix that hits the spot every time!

🥘Ingredients & Substitutions
Here's a list of ingredients, and feel free to get creative with whatever you have on hand:
- Ice cream: I have included a small batch no-churn vimto ice cream recipe. This will need a day before you can use it. You can save time and effort by skipping the ice cream steps. Use store-bought vanilla ice cream and whisk in a few tablespoons of VIMTO and refreeze for a few minutes.
- VIMTO: If you do not have VIMTO, you can replace it with Rooh Afza
- chia seeds: You can replace this with sabja seeds (basil seeds)
- cooked vermicelli: I did not have falooda sev, which would have been the authentic falooda.
- chilled milk: You may use any kind of chilled milk.
- ripe mango: Frozen or fresh or any other seasonal fruits like berries or apple
- pomegranate: optional
- pistachios: or any other nuts
🍦VIMTO no-churn ice cream
With just three ingredients and 4 to 6 hours of chilling time, you can make a small batch of VIMTO-flavoured ice cream. You don't need ice cream maker or eggs. Just whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk and a few tablespoons of VIMTO. But let me tell you a fact, you don't need to make this ice cream.
Save time and effort by using a store-bought vanilla ice cream. Take some portion out, whisk in Vimto and refreeze to use. Or just scoop and serve the ice cream over the Mango falooda with a drizzle of Vimto.
🔪Instructions
I had made a VIMTO flavoured no-churn ice cream so I used that in this Mango Falooda. The berry fruit cordial, the mango, the pomegranate, and the crushed pistachios with the soft VIMTO ice cream - all complimented each other superbly. You can add more nuts and fruits and make it richer. Use a tall glass and ensure all ingredients are cold. Assemble and serve immediately!
This Mango Falooda recipe serves two tall glasses and the quantity can be doubled to make more. You can make the ice cream a day ahead or feel free to use store-bought ice cream and just drizzle some VIMTO over it for the flavour.
🙋🏽♀️FAQ
Yes, feel free to substitute mango with your favorite fruits like strawberries, bananas, or peaches.
Absolutely! While Vimto ice cream adds a unique flavor, you can use any ice cream flavor of your choice.
It's best to assemble and serve the falooda immediately to enjoy its freshness and texture. However, you can prepare the individual components ahead of time and assemble just before serving for convenience.
Vimto syrup and ice cream may be available in grocery stores or online. You can also substitute with rose syrup and ice cream flavor if Vimto products are not available.
