Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's favourite cheat meal

In the video interview, when asked about his favourite food, Sooryavanshi said, 'Sab kuch hi khata hoon main. Ghar ka khana sab kuch hi khata hoon main." He further added, "Au cheat meal mein mujhe ice cream bahut pasand hai."

What is an ice cream

Ice cream refers to a popular frozen dessert made with milk, cream, sugar, and flavorings. The mixture is churned while freezing, which incorporates air and creates its smooth, creamy texture. Ice cream may also contain ingredients such as fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, cookies, or caramel. It is a summer favourite dessert and can also be enjoyed during winters. It comes in many forms including cones, cups, bars, sandwiches, and sundaes.

What study says about ice cream

According to a recent study published in Archives of Internal Medicine, by researchers from Harvard University, it has been found that men who ate ice cream regularly had a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. This 2005 study stands out by reporting a surprising inverse association between ice cream consumption and type 2 diabetes risk—an observation that runs counter to most nutrition recommendations and has prompted considerable debate in the research community. Related studies generally find that dairy intake—especially fermented products like yogurt—may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. High-fat milk and cheese also show protective associations in some cohorts.

Easiest ice cream recipe

Ingredients: 2 cups heavy cream, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method: To begin with, whip the cold heavy cream in a large chilled bowl until soft peaks form. To this, add chilled condensed milk and vanilla extract. Gently fold all the ingredients and then pour the mixture into an ice cream-making container. Cover and freeze for 6–8 hours or overnight. Once ready, enjoy in a cup or readymade wafer cones.
