Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients

  • Chop the apricots, prunes, and raisins. Roughly chop the almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, and cashews.

Boil the Milk

  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the full cream milk to a boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.

Add Ingredients and Simmer

  • Reduce the heat to low. Add the chopped dried fruits and nuts to the boiling milk. Stir well to combine. Add the condensed milk and stir continuously.

Finish and Pour

  • Continue to stir for another 3-5 minutes. If using, add cardamom powder and rose water. Remove from heat. Pour the mixture into kulfi molds or small containers.

Freeze

  • Cover the molds tightly and freeze for at least 6-8 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.

Serve

  • To serve, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the kulfi. Invert the kulfi onto serving plates and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Kulfi

  • For extra creaminess, use full-fat coconut milk in addition to or instead of some of the dairy milk.
  • If you don't have kulfi molds, you can use small paper cups or ramekins.
  • Experiment with different types of nuts and dried fruits to create your own unique flavor combinations. Pistachios and saffron are also excellent additions.
  • For a smoother texture, blend the mixture briefly before freezing. Be careful not to over-blend, as some texture is desirable.
