Kulfa A Creamy and Nutty Frozen Delight


Introduction: Welcome to Flavor and Taste Cooking, your go-to blog for delightful and easy-to-make recipes! Today, we're thrilled to bring you a traditional South Asian dessert: Kulfa. This rich, creamy, and nutty frozen treat is perfect for cooling down on a hot day or indulging in a sweet craving. Let's dive into the delicious world of Kulfa

Ingredients:

  • 1 liter full-fat milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1/4 cup chopped almonds
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
  • 1/4 cup chopped cashews
  • 1/4 cup khoya (optional, for extra richness)
  • 1 tablespoon rose water (optional)
  • Saffron strands (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preparing the Milk Base:

    • In a heavy-bottomed pot, bring the full-fat milk to a boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
    • Once the milk reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer until it reduces to about half its original volume. Stir frequently to avoid burning.

  2. Adding the Cream and Sweeteners:

    • Add the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and sugar to the reduced milk. Mix well until the sugar dissolves completely.
    • Continue to simmer the mixture on low heat for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly.

  3. Incorporating the Nuts and Flavorings:

    • Add the cardamom powder, chopped almonds, pistachios, and cashews to the milk mixture. Stir well to combine.
    • If using, add the khoya and rose water to enhance the richness and flavor of the Kulfa.

  4. Cooling the Mixture:

    • Remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

  5. Freezing the Kulfa:

    • Once cooled, pour the mixture into Kulfa molds or a shallow, freezer-safe container.
    • Cover the molds or container with aluminum foil or a lid to prevent ice crystals from forming.
    • Place the molds or container in the freezer for at least 6-8 hours, or until the Kulfa is fully set.

  6. Serving the Kulfa:

    • To serve, remove the Kulfa from the molds or scoop it out of the container into serving bowls.
    • Garnish with saffron strands and additional chopped nuts if desired.
    • Enjoy this creamy and nutty frozen delight with your family and friends
