Kewra Kulfi Indian Ice Cream Recipes

KULFI RECIPE

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups milk to a boil in a heavy bottom pot. Allow it to boil further for 10 mins on a medium flame. Keep stirring often to prevent the milk solids getting burnt at the bottom.
• Meanwhile add pistachios along with saffron to a blender jar and make a slightly coarse powder. Set this aside.
• After 10 minutes of boiling the milk, add sugar and continue to boil for another 10 to 12 mins. Keep stirring often to prevent the milk getting scorched at the bottom.
• Add corn flour to 1 cup milk and stir well. Make sure there are no lumps.
• Lower the flame completely and pour this to the pot. Keep stirring and boil.
• Add the nuts powder and cardamom powder. Mix well and make sure there are no lumps.
• Pour cream if using and Cook for 6 to 8 minutess more. Keep stirring. Under 8 mins it turns thick. It should be of pouring consistency.
• Switch off the stove & Cool this completely. The mixture thickens further upon cooling.
• Pour this to kulfi molds, steel cups or Popsicle molds. Cover with a foil and gently insert a ice cream stick.
• Freeze overnight. Immerse these in a bowl filled with water for 1 min or rub the moulds in between your palms for 30 seconds.
• Gently hold the stick and demould it. Sprinkle chopped pistas and serve kesar pista kulfi immediately.

CHOCOLATE KULFI (ICE CREAM)

Steps:

• Heat milk and cardamom pods together in a large, heavy saucepan; bring to boil, then simmer vigorously until liquid is reduced to 1/3 of original amount.
• Strain the liquid into a heat-proof bowl, discarding the cardamom, then stir in the sugar and chocolate until melted.
• Add the almonds and half of the pistachios, then leave to cool.
• Pour mixture into a large freezer-proof container, cover and freeze for at least 2 hours (or until firm), stirring every 30mins.
• Pack the kulfi into 6 yogurt pots or any freezer-proof molds/cups, cover with clingfilm and freeze for 8 hours, or until completely solid.
• To serve, dip the base of the molds briefly into hot water, then unmold kulfi onto dessert plates.

CREAMY KULFI (INDIAN ICE CREAM)

Steps:

• Line 13 x 9 inch glass baking dish with plastic wrap, leaving 2 inches overhang all around.
• Place evaporated milk, condensed milk, cream, sugar, cardamom and rosewater in blender. Puree on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Pour into prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
• Remove from freezer five minutes before cutting. Unwrap dish. Using plastic overhang, lift kulfi out of pan and transfer to cutting board. Remove plastic wrap. Cut into 48 squares, cutting 6 by 8. Transfer to mini muffin papers, if desired. Garnish with chopped pistachios. Serve immediately or store in freezer.
• I think a mini muffin pan, popsicle molds or other small silicone molds would work just as well, with or without popsicle sticks.

KULFI (INDIAN ICE CREAM)

Steps:

• 1. Chop up the pistachio nuts until they are in little bits, not too finely though or the finished kulfi will lose some of the wanted course texture.
• 2. Then place into a saucepan and add the other ingredients, carefully bring to the boil, as milk and cream boils at a lower temperature and will rise quickly in the saucepan.
• 3. While the mixture is simmering, stir slowly for about 1 minute until the ingredients are well blended in.
• 4. Allow to cool then whisk the mixture or use a hand blender to make the mixture even smoother, then pour the mixture into popsicle mould's, special kulfi mould's, brioche (French bread) mould's or even half coconut shells and freeze for 6 hours.
• 5. Before you serve the kulfi, dip the mould into warm water for several seconds so that the ice-cream is easier to remove and garnish with fine ground pistachios.
• 6. Of course kulfi can be made with fruits blended in as well and a popular choice is to use mangoes, add small to medium sized chunks of mango to the mixture after its taken off the heat and fold in, then freeze as normal.

MIXED NUTS INDIAN ICE-CREAM (KULFI)

• Pour mixture into small dixie style plastic cups. Cover cups with foil and insert a wooden popsicle stick into the center.
• Freeze Kulfi for at least 4 - 6 hours, preferably overnight.

KULFI (INDIAN ICE CREAM WITH NUTS)

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!
