WW Kulfi Ice Cream Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (pistachios, almonds, cashews)
- Saffron strands for garnish (optional)
- Chopped pistachios for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Milk Base:
- In a large saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat. Bring it to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until it reduces slightly (about 15-20 minutes).
- Add sweetened condensed milk and powdered sugar to the simmering milk, stirring until everything is dissolved and well combined.
-
Flavor the Mixture:
- Stir in the ground cardamom. If using saffron strands, add them to the milk mixture to infuse the flavors.
-
Add the Nuts:
- Once the milk mixture is smooth, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in the chopped nuts (pistachios, almonds, cashews) until evenly distributed.
-
Freeze the Kulfi:
- Pour the mixture into popsicle molds or small cups. Insert sticks if using molds. If you don’t have molds, you can pour the mixture into a small shallow pan and cut it into squares later.
- Place in the freezer and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
-
Serve:
- Once frozen, remove the kulfi from the molds or pan. If you used a shallow pan, cut into squares. Garnish with additional chopped pistachios and saffron strands if desired.
- Serve and enjoy the creamy, delicious flavor of homemade Kulfi Ice Cream!
