Mawa Kulfi

Active Time: 5 minutes

Kulfi is often described as ice cream but the texture and consistency is different! It is usually served on a plate cut into pieces and eaten with a spoon. Sometimes you will see it served as a popsicle as well.

Serve it as a dessert for your next party because it is:

• Quick: with this recipe you only need a few minutes of active time then just freeze
• Simple: requiring only four ingredients!
• Versatile: mawa kulfi comes in so many different flavors and you can easily use this recipe to make other flavors such as Kesar Pista Kulfi

Ingredients Notes

1. Mawa or Khoya – this recipe cannot be made without this! The khoya gives the kulfi a slightly grainy texture that many associate with kulfi. You can either buy fresh or even frozen khoya. Remember to give the khoya time to defrost if you are using frozen.
2. Condensed milk – while you could boil milk for a very long time, I don’t see why you should! Condensed milk is just that all ready in a can for you.
3. Heavy cream – gives you that lush mouthfeel
4. Cardamom – a small amount goes a long way, ensure you use ground cardamom powder
5. Optional – ground pistachios or nuts for garnish
   

Kulfis are traditionally served from a mold like this. If you do not have kulfi molds you can also make this in a small loaf pan or any other small freezer safe containers you have.
