Kulfi Ice cream

Indulge in the Cool and Creamy Delight of Kulfi Ice Cream: A Traditional Dessert from India

Kulfi Ice Cream is a delicious and popular frozen dairy dessert that originated in India. Made with a blend of milk, milk powder, sweetened condensed milk, nuts, cardamom, and saffron, this creamy treat is a refreshing and satisfying treat during hot summer days.

As a child growing up in India, I have fond memories of running to the Kulfi wallah, the traditional dessert vendor, as soon as we heard the sound of the bell from his cart. Now, as a parent, I wanted to share the same experience and taste with my kids, so I decided to try making Kulfi Ice Cream at home.

If you want to try making Kulfi Ice Cream at home, here are some tips to help you achieve the perfect flavor and texture. Firstly, you can use arrowroot powder instead of cornflour for a cooling effect on your body, which is especially beneficial during hot summer days. Secondly, instead of using a microwave oven, you can use a gas stove for this recipe. Finally, for a richer taste, you can add 1/4 cup of fresh cream with milk.
