Using a blender, blend all ingredients (milk, cream, condensed milk, mango puree, cardamom powder, salt) except nuts until smooth and creamy.
Add the coarsely crushed nuts and mix until well combined. Your no-cook kulfi mixture is ready! Makes a total of 4 cups.
Pour the kulfi mixture into molds of choice. Alternately you can also small paper cups (5oz). Poured approximately 2 cups kulfi mixture in 8 popsicle molds (8 kulfis) and 2 cups mix in 4 paper cups.
Cover with aluminum foil and add the wooden ice cream sticks or the ones that come with your popsicle mold. Refrigerate for 6-8 hours or until frozen.
For serving, just hold the molds under running water for 10 seconds and the kulfi should slide out easily.
Rich and creamy No-Cook Mango Kulfi is ready!! Enjoy immediately!
Notes
Use Fresh or canned mango puree to make these kulfis.
With fresh mango puree, use about 1 can of condensed milk. Adjust based on the sweetness of mango.
For sweetened canned mango puree use half a can of condensed milk. Use Alphonso or Kesar mango pulp that is easily available in most Indian grocery stores.
To make Fresh Mango puree - Use a ripe, pulpy, and juicy variety of mangoes like Alphonso or Kesar. Another substitute is Ataulfo mangoes, a Mexican variety. Avoid fibrous kind. Scoop out the pulp, discard the seed and skin. Puree the pulp, pass it through a sieve and use this smooth puree for this recipe.
For best texture, don't blend the nuts. Add them later and mix them.
For an even creamier kulfi, add evaporated milk instead of whole milk.
Molds hack - Use paper cups in place of Popsicle or kulfi molds. They are excellent for freezing and even make it easier for the kulfi to slide out.
