Kulfi Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Boil the Milk

    In a large saucepan, bring the full-fat milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent it from burning.

  2. 2

    Add Sugar and Cardamom

    Once the milk starts boiling, add the sugar and cardamom powder. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  3. 3

    Reduce and Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the milk simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces to about half its volume.

  4. 4

    Mix in Condensed Milk and Heavy Cream

    Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Then mix in the condensed milk and heavy cream until well combined.

  5. 5

    Add Nuts and Saffron

    Stir in the chopped pistachios, chopped almonds, and saffron strands into the mixture.

  6. 6

    Pour into Molds

    Pour the mixture into kulfi molds or small cups. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap.

  7. 7

    Freeze

    Freeze the kulfi for at least 6 hours or overnight until solid.

  8. 8

    Serve

    To serve, remove the kulfi from the molds and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. Enjoy!
