KULFI

I grew up near Little India in California, and I loved the desserts from Indian sweets shops. One of them sold kulfi, a spiced and nutty frozen custard in cone molds. Here I use a shortcut method to make kulfi quickly and without any special equipment. The whole milk can be replaced with mango pulp for mango kulfi. -Justine Kmiecik, Crestview, Florida

Time 8h20m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ¼ cups evaporated milk
1 ¼ cups sweetened condensed milk
1 (16 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
4 slices white bread, torn into pieces
½ teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

  • Combine evaporated milk, condensed milk and whipped topping in a blender and blend in pieces of bread until smooth.
  • Pour mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish or two plastic ice cube trays, sprinkle with cardamom and freeze for 8 hours or overnight.

Tips:

  • Use full-fat milk: This will give your kulfi a richer, creamier flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the sugar: Kulfi is a sweet dessert, so don't be afraid to use enough sugar to achieve the desired sweetness. If you don't use enough sugar, the kulfi will not set properly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the milk from scorching.
  • Stir the milk constantly: This will also help to prevent the milk from scorching and will help to dissolve the sugar.
  • Let the kulfi cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and will make the kulfi easier to scoop.

Conclusion:

Malai kulfi is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you are looking for a new dessert to try, I highly recommend giving malai kulfi a try.
