Instructions

Prepare the Praline

Dry roast the rolled oats and almonds in a pan over medium heat until lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.

Make the Praline

In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons of sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts and turns a light amber color (caramel). Immediately add the roasted oats and almonds. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
Pour the mixture onto a lightly oiled plate or parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to spread it thinly into a flat layer.
Let the praline cool completely for at least 15-20 minutes until it hardens.
Once cool, break the praline into pieces and grind it into a fine powder using a food processor or blender.

Make the Kulfi

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Stir frequently and reduce the milk by half; this will take approximately 20-25 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
Add the sugar and cardamom powder (if using). Stir well to dissolve the sugar. Simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Stir in the powdered praline. Make sure there are no lumps.
Pour the mixture into kulfi molds or small containers. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.

Serve

Remove the Kulfi from the molds and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Oats & Almond Praline Kulfi:

For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk.
Toasting the oats and almonds enhances their flavor and adds a lovely aroma.
Don't overheat the sugar when making the praline; it can easily burn.
For smoother kulfi, strain the milk mixture before adding the praline to remove any lumps or solids.
