Love your recipe... not that huge a fan of faloodas, but I have tried to make it once. I used store bought rose milk along with ice cream and nuts and cuscus.
It was delicious, but setting it was a chore.

Falooda is a dessert, if you look at it technically, but practically it is an any-time snack! This exciting combination of sweetened rose-flavoured milk with falooda sev, subza seeds, vanilla ice-cream and all the works is a delicacy that appeals to all. It is quite sumptuous and satiating, and you will often find people stopping by at a roadside vendor to have a glassful of Falooda to keep them comfortably going till the next meal. Indeed, what a tasty way to chase hunger away!
