Kulfi

 Kulfi is a traditional Indian frozen dessert that is denser and creamier than regular ice cream because, unlike ice cream, it is not churned. The rich texture comes from slowly boiling the milk until it reduces and thickens. Your recipe is a classic way to make a delicious Malai (cream) Kulfi.

Here is a summary of the ingredients and a step-by-step guide based on your method.


Malai Kulfi Recipe



Ingredients:

  • Milk: 1 liter (full-fat milk is best for a rich texture
  • Cashew nuts: 1 cup
  • Sugar: 1 cup
  • Cardamom powder: 1 tsp
  • Coarsely powdered nuts: 2 tsp (for garnish)
  • Small cups and ice cream sticks for filling

Method:

  1. Reduce the Milk: In a heavy-bottomed pot, bring the milk to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The milk should become slightly thick
  2. Prepare the Powdered Mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the cashew nuts and sugar. Pulse until you get a coarse powder.
  3. Combine and Thicken: Slowly add the cashew-sugar powder to the boiling milk, mixing well to ensure there are no lumps. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens further.
  4. Cool the Mixture: Remove the pot from the heat and allow the mixture to cool down completely.
  5. Add Flavor and Nuts: Stir in the cardamom powder and the coarsely powdered nuts.
  6. Pour into Molds and Freeze: Carefully pour the Kulfi mixture into small cups or Kulfi molds. Sprinkle little powdered nuts.Place an ice cream stick in the center of each cup.
  7. Freeze: Place the cups in the freezer for at least 6-8 hours, or until they are completely frozen and firm.
  8. Serve: To remove the Kulfi from the cup, warm the mold with your hands for a few seconds. The Kulfi should easily slide out.

Enjoy your homemade Kulfi!
