Kulfi is a popular Indian frozen dessert that is similar to ice cream, but with a denser and creamier consistency. It is made with condensed milk, heavy cream, and a variety of flavorings, such as cardamom, pistachios, or mango. Here is a simple recipe for making delicious kulfi at home:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp cardamom powder
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds (optional)
Instructions:
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
-
Add in the cardamom powder and mix well. If you are using any additional flavorings, such as pistachios or almonds, stir them into the mixture at this point.
-
Pour the mixture into a 9×9 inch baking dish or a loaf pan. Cover the dish with foil or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer.
-
Freeze the kulfi mixture for at least 6-8 hours, or overnight.
-
Once the kulfi is frozen, remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Use a sharp knife to cut the kulfi into slices or cubes.
-
Serve the kulfi immediately, garnished with additional chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cardamom if desired. Enjoy!
Note: If you prefer a softer, scoopable consistency for your kulfi, you can churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions before freezing it. You can also add in additional flavorings, such as chopped fruit or chocolate chips, to customize the flavor of your kulfi. Experiment with different ingredients to create your own unique kulfi creations.
