Instructions

Prepare the Kulfi Base

Combine milk powder, heavy cream, powdered sugar, cornflour, and whole milk in a saucepan. Whisk until smooth to avoid lumps.

Cook the Mixture

Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle simmer. This should take about 10-15 minutes.

Cool and Flavor

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely. Stir in the crushed cashews and optional almonds.

Freeze the Kulfi

Pour the mixture into small kulfi molds or ramekins. Cover and freeze for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.

Melt the Chocolate

Melt the chopped semisweet chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.

Dip and Refreeze

Carefully remove the kulfi from the molds. Dip the kulfi into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Place the chocolate-covered kulfi back into the molds or onto parchment paper.

Final Freeze and Serve

Return to the freezer for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set completely. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Chocolate Kulfi

For extra richness, use full-fat milk and heavy cream.
Don't overheat the kulfi mixture; low and slow cooking is key to preventing lumps and ensuring a smooth texture.
If you don't have kulfi molds, use small ramekins or even ice cube trays.
For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet.
