Kulfi hearts

Kulfi is a frozen dessert originating in the Indian subcontinent. Kulfi is a traditional Indian ice cream and is similar to a frozen custard. This one is very simple and easy and literally takes 10 minutes to prepare and of course you need to freeze it overnight. I love the saffron, cardamom, pistachios and chopped almonds. This recipe is inspired by the late Noorbanu Nimji.

I have added some cocoa powder to some of the mixture to make it chocolatey.

You can try different variations like mango pulp, rose water, etc.

Ingredients:

  • 385 ml tin evaporated milk

  • 300 ml condensed milk

  • 250 ml whipping cream

  • 1/4 tsp cardamom ground

  • 6 strands saffron

  • 10 almonds, coarse ground

  • 10 pistachio kernels, coarse ground

Directions:

  1. Blend all the above ingredients except the nuts. Fold in ground nuts and pour mixture into molds of your choice or a shallow dish (12”x8”)

    Enjoy!!
