This is an interesting dessert from Mangalore made with different ice cream flavours and fruits.

It is believed that this recipe was discovered accidentally in a rush,the chef had to make some classic dessert ice cream and ended up making a mix of ice cream flavours with fruits,and hence the name gadbad.
