Let me first clarify Kulfi is not an ice-cream, ice creams are whipped with air or overrun, kulfi contains no air; it is rather solid dense frozen milk.
Kulfi is a popular Indian dessert made with boiled milk. It comes in many flavours, including pistachio, malai, mango, cardamom (elaichi), saffron (kesar). Here I am posting the recipe for the pistachio kulfi.
What you need?
- Shelled unsalted pistachio nuts - 1/4 cup (25 gms)
- Evaporated milk - 1/2 cup (100 ml)
- Heavy cream - 1 cup (200 ml)
- Sugar - 2 table spoon .
- Vanilla extract - 1 table spoon .
- Chop the pistachio nuts into tiny pieces.
- Pour the evaporated milk and cream into a sauce pan and bring it to boil.
- Add the sugar and vanilla extract then reduce the heat to low.
- Simmer the mixture for 15 minutes, stirring often, the mixture will gradually thicken
- Pour the mixture into a bowl, add pistachio pieces and allow it to cool.
- When the mixture is cooled, put the bowl in the freezer (minimum 5 hours).
