Quick Cardamom Ice Cream Aka Khulfi 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.

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.
