Falooda is more than just a dessert. It is a layered treat filled with texture, flavour and nostalgia. This beloved Indo-Persian dessert has been a part of summer traditions for generations and now, with GOOD&MOORE’s thoughtfully crafted ingredients, recreating an indulgent glass of falooda at home is easier than ever. Whether you are preparing it for guests or treating yourself to something special, here is a simple guide to help you get started.
What You Need to Make Falooda
The beauty of falooda lies in its customisation. While you can get creative with flavours, a classic falooda typically includes the following elements:
- Basil seeds soaked in water
- Boiled and chilled vermicelli
- Chilled milk
- Ice cream
- Rose syrup for falooda
- Jelly cubes (optional)
- Chopped nuts or fresh fruits (optional)
Step-by-Step Process
Start by soaking basil seeds in water for about 20 minutes until they swell. In the meantime, boil the vermicelli, rinse it under cold water, and keep it aside. In a tall glass, begin layering. Add the soaked basil seeds at the bottom followed by vermicelli. Pour in the chilled milk and drizzle a generous amount of GOOD&MOORE Rose Syrup for that iconic colour and floral sweetness.
Top it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a final swirl of syrup. You can even garnish with thinly sliced almonds, pistachios or fresh fruit chunks to add texture. The result is a beautifully layered dessert that looks as good as it tastes.
Customise with unique twists
Falooda is incredibly versatile. With GOOD&MOORE’s wide range of dessert sauces and syrups, you can take the traditional recipe and make it your own.
If you love a chocolate twist, add a drizzle of GOOD&MOORE’s Dark Chocolate Sauce in between the milk and vermicelli layer or on top of the ice cream. It adds a rich depth and pairs beautifully with the rose flavours.
Want to experiment with a caramel touch? Try GOOD&MOORE’s Caramel Syrup Recipe to make your own caramel sauce at home or use it as a flavour accent along with vanilla ice cream for a falooda that leans towards a butterscotch sundae.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your falooda in transparent tall glasses to highlight the colourful layers. Add a spoon and a straw to let people enjoy every layer fully. It is perfect as a make-ahead dessert for festive gatherings or weekend indulgence. Falooda also works well as an after-dinner treat when you want something cold, sweet and textured.
Tips to Get it Right
- Chill the milk and vermicelli before layering to prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly.
- Use GOOD&MOORE’s rose syrup for a consistent, authentic flavour. It is thicker and more aromatic than generic syrups.
- Soak basil seeds properly to get the perfect jelly-like texture.
- Mix and match toppings based on your mood. Fresh mangoes, strawberries, or even cubes of fruit jelly can elevate the final dessert.
