Ingredients
Kulfi Base
- 4 cup Full-Fat Milk
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese grated and well-blended
- 1/2 tsp Saffron Strands crushed
- 6 tbsp Sugar or to taste
- 2 Cardamom Pods crushed, or seeds
Garnishes and Filling
- 2 tsp Almonds slivered
- 1/4 cup Pistachios finely sliced
- 1/4 cup Gulkand rose jam
- Rose Syrup as needed
- Glazed Cherries as needed
Instructions
- In a large pot, boil the milk over medium heat. Reduce the milk to half its original volume. This concentrates the milk's flavor and creates a richer kulfi.
- Add the crushed saffron strands to the boiling milk. Stir well.
- Add the sugar and continue boiling for 5 minutes. This helps dissolve the sugar completely.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the crushed cardamom and sliced nuts.
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, gently fold in the blended paneer until well combined.
- Fill ring-shaped kulfi molds with the paneer kulfi mixture. Cover the molds and freeze until the kulfi is set, preferably for at least 6-8 hours.
- To serve, garnish the paneer kulfi with slivered almonds, pistachios, a dollop of gulkand, and glazed cherries.
- Drizzle rose syrup over the kulfi to create a vibrant pichkari color effect.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Serve chilled.
- For a striking pichkari effect, use a squeeze bottle to artistically drizzle rose syrup over the kulfi wada just before serving, creating vibrant swirls that mimic festive watercolors.
- If you prefer a lighter texture, briefly whip the paneer and cream mixture before freezing to incorporate more air, resulting in a softer, mousse-like kulfi interior.
- To prevent the gulkund filling from seeping out during assembly, freeze small balls of gulkund in advance, then wrap the kulfi mixture around them, ensuring a neat and surprising center.
- For an extra crunch, lightly toast the sliced almonds and pistachios before sprinkling on top; this enhances their nutty aroma and provides a delightful textural contrast to the creamy kulfi.
Expert Tips
- Experiment with different flavors of kulfi by adding cardamom, saffron, or mango puree to the base mixture.
- If you don't have rose syrup, a simple sugar syrup infused with rose water can be used as a delicious alternative.
- For a more decadent treat, dip the assembled kulfi wadas in melted chocolate before serving.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover kulfi wadas in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Allow them to soften slightly at room temperature before serving.
