    Expert Tips

    • Mangoes – Choose ripe mangoes or any juicy mango type, alphonso mangoes are best.
    • Milk – I recommend using full cream milk , don’t use skimmed or low fat milk. Whole milk or full cream has more fat which results in creamy kulfi.
    • Sweetened condensed milk – Adjust condensed milk quantity according to the sweetness of mangoes.
    • Nuts – You can soak 5 each of cashews, almonds and pistachios grind it and add it to the mango mixture.
    • Kulfi mold – Don’t have kulfi mould?! don’t worry you can use small steel tumblers cling wrap aluminium foil, insert ice cream sticks and freeze it.
    • Others – Cornflour mixed with milk can be added to thicken milk faster. But I don’t prefer adding it as it gives a slightly pasty texture while eating so I skipped it and reduced the milk until thick and creamy.

    Serving & Storage

    Serve it immediately once you remove. You can freeze the kulfi for up to 2-3 days. Serve it as such or with chopped pistachio. You can freeze mango kulfi for about 3 days.

    FAQS

    1.How to remove kulfi from mold easily?

    For easily removing the kulfi from mold – show the molds in running tap water, then pull out the stick slowly to get the ice pops clean. Alternatively you can dip the outside of the mold in water and then remove.

    2.Can I use ready made mango pulp?

    Yes you can use ready made mango pulp but adjust condensed milk accordingly as ready made mango pulp already has sweetness in it. If using mango pulp use around 1 cup pulp for 1 cup reduced milk.

    3.Can I use sugar instead of condensed milk?

    Yes you can use sugar but it makes the kulfi mixture a bit runny so you need to thicken further. Condensed milk gives thickness and creaminess to the kulfi.

      i think we get ice crystals because of presence of water in the milk.May be simmering it to a thick consistency will help.Another method is adding cream ,milk powder and milk to make icecream which should be creamy but we are afraid of the calories right?.i follow the one you made only but a thickened milk version may bring a difference.

      Hi Sharmilee,
      Can we make this Kulfi recipe without the nuts?
      Will it affect the consistency?
      Also, I was thinking if I could use corn starch in place of cornflour?
      Thank You.
