Kulfi Recipe | Kulfi Ice cream Recipe

Kulfi is a rich, creamy and frozen dessert, perfect for summer or for any festive meal. It is made by reducing milk slowly to thick malai and adding nuts, khoya, sugar and little saffron. The texture is dense, smooth and melts slowly in mouth, giving that traditional kulfi feeling.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups full cream milk
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 10 nos almonds
  • 10 nos pista
  • ½ no cardamom
  • a pinch of saffron
  • ¼ cup unsweetened khoya

Instructions

  • Grind together sugar, almonds, pistachios, saffron and cardamom together to a slightly coarse mixture, set aside.
  • Boil milk in a pan. Simmer for 15 minutes till milk reduces. Stir in between to avoid burning at the bottom.
  • Now add nuts sugar mixture.
  • Add khoya and cook for few more mins. Malai will start collecting.
  • Scrap the sides and keep cooking till the mixture is thick and creamy.
  • Keep cooking. till it coats the ladle. Cool down completely.
  • Then pour it in kulfi molds / popsicle molds. I used my kulfi shaped popsicle molds.
  • Wrap with silver foil, insert ice cream stick and freeze for 6-8 hours at least, I always freeze it overnight.
  • Then show the popsicles side part under running tap water. Slowly remove the kulfis and serve.

Notes

  • Grinding nuts – I usually grind almonds and pistachios fine. You can just make it a bit coarser if you want some crunch in kulfi.
  • Milk – I boil milk and simmer it slowly, stir often so that it does not burn. This adds natural thickness and creaminess to kulfi.
  • Adding khoya – I add khoya after nuts mixture. This helps malai collect and gives very rich taste.
  • Freezing – I usually wrap molds with foil and insert sticks. Freeze for 6-8 hours or overnight for best setting.
  • Demolding – Show popsicle mold under running tap water for few seconds, then slowly pull stick. Kulfi comes out clean and keeps shape nicely.
