Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Milk

    In a large pot, bring the full-fat milk to a boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.

  2. 2

    Add Saffron

    Once the milk begins to boil, add the saffron strands. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the saffron to infuse its color and flavor into the milk.

  3. 3

    Mix in Condensed Milk and Cream

    Stir in the condensed milk and heavy cream into the pot. Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

  4. 4

    Sweeten the Mixture

    Add sugar to the mixture and stir well until it is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool down to room temperature.

  5. 5

    Add Flavorings

    Once cooled, stir in the chopped pistachio nuts and rose water into the mixture.

Freezing

  1. 6

    Prepare the Kulfi Molds

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

  2. 7

    Freeze the Kulfi

    Place the molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 6 hours, or until solid.

  3. 8

    Serve

    To serve, remove the kulfi from the molds by running them under warm water for a few seconds. Serve immediately and enjoy your Keshar Kulfi!
