How to Make Falooda Trifle

Soak Basil Seeds: Begin by soaking the basil seeds in water for about 20 minutes, allowing them to swell and expand.
Prepare Kulfi Mousse: In a medium pot, combine full-fat milk, sugar, cornstarch, cardamom powder, saffron, and thick cream. Heat over medium, stirring until thickened. Cool to room temperature.
Whip and Fold: In a separate bowl, whip the liquid cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into cooled kulfi mixture, then incorporate homemade kulfi and chopped white chocolate.
Assemble Trifle: Layer sponge cake pieces with rose syrup, kulfi mousse, basil seeds, and strawberries in serving cups.
Chill: Cover trifles and refrigerate for at least 2 hours for flavors to meld.
