KULFI (INDIAN ICE CREAM WITH NUTS)



Kulfi (Indian Ice Cream With Nuts) image

A wonderful Madhur Jaffrey recipe. You don't need an ice-cream maker for this recipe, but if you do have one, you may use it! There are quite a few recipes posted here which includes cream. Kulfi is not made with cream, it's made with reduced milk. You may use full-cream or semi-skimmed milk. So, it would help to have a wide, heavy based sauce-pan for boiling down the milk, but a heavy non-stick pan would do as well. Please note, the cooking time does not include cooling time and freezing time.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 liters milk
8 -10 green cardamom pods
4 -5 tablespoons sugar
15 g almonds, blanched and chopped
25 g pistachios, unsalted and chopped

Steps:

  • Pour the milk into a wide, heavy based sauce pan and bring to boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
  • As soon as the milk begins to rise, turn the heat down just to the point to allow the milk to simmer vigorously but without boiling over.
  • Add in the cardamom pods.
  • Leave the milk to boil and stir the sides of the pan constantly to avoid scalding.
  • Whenever a film forms on top of the milk, just stir it in .
  • The milk has to reduce to about a third of the original amount, about 750 ml (1 1/4 pints) which will take about 45 minutes.
  • When the milk has reduced, remove the cardamom pods and discard them.
  • Add in the sugar and almonds, stir and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour the reduced milk into a bowl (which can be put into the freezer) and let it cool completely.
  • Add half of the chopped pistachios and stir them in .
  • Cover the bowl with an aluminum foil and put it in the freezer.
  • (I do not have an ice-cream maker, but if you do, then you can pour the milk into the machine and get it going).
  • Meanwhile, put 6 small individual cups or a 900ml ( 1 1/2 pints) pudding basin in the freezer.
  • Every 15 minutes or so, remove the ice-cream bowl from the freezer and give the ice-cream a good stir.
  • As the ice-cream begins to freeze, it will become harder to stir but when it becomes almost impossible to stir, take out the cups or pudding basin from the freezer and divide the ice-cream between the cups or empty it into the pudding basin.
  • Sprinkle the remaining pistachios over the top and cover with aluminum foil sealing them well on the edges.
  • Return them back to the freezer to let the ice-cream harden (for at least 4 hours).
  • If it's in individual cups, then remove the cups from the freezer 10-15 minutes before you want to serve it to soften slightly.
  • If it's made in the pudding basin, you can put it in the fridge 20-30 minutes before serving.
  • Remove the ice-cream from the pudding basin by running a sharp knife around the edges of the ice-cream and slip it onto a serving plate (it should slip off easily, if it doesn't then dip the bowl in hot water and try again).
  • Cut into 6 slabs and serve.
  • Enjoy!

KULFI



Kulfi image

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

Tips:

  • If you don't have time to toast the nuts, you can use unsweetened coconut flakes instead.
  • Use full-fat milk and cream to make your kulfi rich and creamy.

  • Serve the kulfi with your favorite toppings, such as chopped nuts, fruit, or syrup.
