Best 5 Peach Pistachio Kulfi Recipes

PISTA KULFI

Steps:

• Remove the crust from all sides of the bread and cut the bread in small pieces.
• Blend bread pieces, cornstarch, and a 1/2 cup of milk, making smooth paste and set aside.
• Boil remaining milk (3.5 cups) in nonstick frying pan on medium high heat. Stir milk as needed to keep milk from burning on the bottom of the frying pan. Stir the sides of the pan to avoid scalding.
• After milk comes to boil, let the milk boil for another 12 minutes. The goal is to boil the milk from 3 1/2 cups to 2 1/2 cups.
• Add the bread mixture to the milk in frying the pan and cook for another 4 minutes, reducing the heat to medium. Bread and cornstarch are added to reduce the water crystallizing in kulfi during freezing.
• Next add sugar and pistachios and cook for 2 more minutes. Turn off the heat and add cardamom powder.
• Cool the milk to room temperature and pour into a bowl,
• Take cellophane wrap and place it right over the milk covering it completely. Note: It is important that the cellophane wrap touches the milk.
• Put it in freezer. It will take about 7 hours for the kulfi to be ready to serve.

KULFI

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.

PISTA KESAR KULFI (PISTACHIO AND SAFFRON KULFI)

Steps:

• Pour the evaporated milk, cream, and sugar into a saucepan and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring it fairly frequently to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
• When it starts to boil, turn the heat down, add the ground pistachios and saffron, and simmer for around 5 minutes.
• Transfer to a bowl and leave to cool down, then put in the fridge. When it is cold, pour into kulfi molds or a freezable container, cover and freeze for 2 to 3 hours.
• To remove the kulfis from their molds, dip them into hot water for a second, turn them upside down over a plate, and give them a sharp tap on the top.
• Serve with a sprinkling of chopped pistachios.

INDIAN ICE CREAM WITH PISTACHIOS: PISTA KULFI

Steps:

• To make the pudding: Place the milk in a large, heavy wok or skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Continue to boil, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring and scraping the bottom and sides of the wok often, until the milk is reduced by at least 3/4, about 45 minutes. You should be left with about 2 cups of condensed milk. (It should have a few lumps.)
• Mix in the sugar, cardamom seeds, ground pistachios and food coloring, if using, and cook, stirring, until the sugar melts and thins down the pudding, and then the pudding thickens again, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Transfer to traditional kulfi molds or disposable 5 1/2-ounce plastic souffle cups. Cover and place in the freezer until completely frozen, at least 4 hours.
• To serve, dip each mold in hot water about 10 seconds, run a knife around the inside of the mold and transfer immediately to a dessert plate. Serve whole or cut into smaller pieces, garnish with chopped pistachios, and serve.

PISTACHIO & ROSE WATER KULFI

Steps:

• Pulse the pistachios and sugar in a mixer until fine - be careful not to overmix or the pistachios will become oily. Mix the cornflour with 1 tbsp of the whole milk to make a smooth paste.
• Pour the remaining milk and the evaporated milk into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the pistachio powder, rose water and cornflour paste, and simmer for 5 mins until the mixture has thickened and coats the back of a spoon (it will continue to thicken as it cools).
• Pour into a bowl and cover the surface with cling film so a skin doesn't form. Leave to cool, then chill in the fridge until cold before churning in your ice cream machine following the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have an ice cream machine, transfer to a freezer- proof container, pop in the freezer for 4 hrs or until frozen and stir every hour to break up any ice crystals.
• Take out of the freezer 20 mins before slicing or scooping to serve. Sprinkle with crushed pistachios and scatter over the cherries or berries.
