Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Heat the Milk

    In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour 4 cups of whole milk. Heat over medium flame, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until it comes to a gentle boil.

  2. 2

    Add Cream and Condensed Milk

    Once the milk boils, reduce the heat to low and add 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of condensed milk. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Sweeten and Flavor

    Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cardamom powder to the mixture. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Mixture

    Continue to simmer the mixture on low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should reduce and thicken.

  5. 5

    Add Nuts and Saffron

    After 30 minutes, add the chopped pistachios, chopped almonds, and a pinch of saffron strands. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients.

Freezing

  1. 6

    Cool the Mixture

    Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

  2. 7

    Pour into Mold

    Once cooled, pour the kulfi mixture into kulfi molds or small cups. If using cups, insert wooden sticks into the center of each cup.

  3. 8

    Freeze

    Place the molds or cups in the freezer. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until the kulfi is completely set.

  4. 9

    Serve

    To serve, remove the kulfi from the molds by running warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds. Serve immediately, garnished with additional chopped nuts if desired.
