Ingredients
Kulfi Base
- 1 ltr Milk
- ½ cup Sugar
- ½ cup Corn Flour
- 1 cup Mawa milk solids
Flavorings and Garnishes
- ¼ cup Chocolate grated
- ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tbsp Cardamom-Infused Milk made by steeping crushed green cardamom pods in warm milk
Equipment
Instructions
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the milk to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the milk has reduced to ¼ of its original volume. This concentrates the milk's flavor and creates a richer kulfi.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the corn flour with a few tablespoons of the reduced milk until smooth. This slurry will help thicken the kulfi base.
- Slowly pour the corn flour mixture into the simmering milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Stir in the sugar and mawa. Cook for another minute until the sugar dissolves and the mawa is incorporated. Remove from the heat.
- Divide the kulfi mixture into three equal parts.
- In the first bowl, stir in the vanilla extract. In the second bowl, gently fold in the grated chocolate. In the third bowl, mix in the cardamom-infused milk.
- Pour the vanilla kulfi mixture into the kulfi molds. Freeze for 1 hour to allow the first layer to set.
- After an hour, add the chocolate kulfi mixture to the molds, inserting a popsicle stick into the center of each. Freeze for another hour.
- Finally, pour the cardamom kulfi mixture into the molds. Freeze for at least 5-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the kulfi is completely solid.
- To serve, gently run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to release the kulfi. Demould and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For vibrant tri-colour layers, let each colored mixture partially set in the molds before adding the next layer—this helps achieve clean, distinct stripes without blending.
- If you don’t have mawa (khoya), substitute with equal parts ricotta cheese and evaporated milk simmered until thickened, to mimic the rich, creamy texture.
- Enhance the chocolate layer by mixing in a pinch of instant coffee powder for a more pronounced cocoa flavor and depth.
- For an extra festive touch, sprinkle finely chopped pistachios or edible rose petals over the kulfi before serving to add both visual appeal and subtle flavor.
Expert Tips
- For a smoother kulfi, blend the mixture thoroughly after each ingredient addition to ensure a creamy consistency.
- If using traditional kulfi molds, run them under warm water for a few seconds before unmolding to release the kulfi easily.
- Experiment with different flavors like mango, cardamom, or saffron to create unique and delicious kulfi variations.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover kulfi in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
