Description
A rich and creamy Indian dessert that’s the perfect frozen treat for hot days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups full-fat milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- Pinch of saffron strands (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (optional)
- 1 tablespoon rose water or kewra essence (optional)
Instructions
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the full-fat milk over medium heat. Stir frequently and let it simmer until the milk reduces by about one-third, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream and condensed milk to the reduced milk, stir well and cook for another 10-15 minutes on low heat until thickened. Mix in the sugar until dissolved.
- Stir in the ground cardamom and saffron strands (if using). Add the rose water or kewra essence, if desired, and simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat, cool to room temperature, and strain if preferred.
- Pour the kulfi mixture into molds, adding chopped pistachios if desired. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- To serve, dip molds in warm water to release kulfi. Garnish with more pistachios or crushed rose petals if desired.
