Equipment

  • Kulfi Mould

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups milk using whole milk
  • tablespoon cornstarch / cornflour
  • 3 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 15-20 pistachios roughly chopped
  • 1 14oz can condensed milk adjust to taste (use ¾ cup to reduce sweetness)
  • 2-3 drops green food coloring optional

Instructions
 

  • In a heavy bottomed pot add milk, cornstarch and sugar. Give it a good mix so that there are no lumps.
  • On medium low heat get this mixture to a boil.
  • Stir in cream, cardamon powder and pistachios and bring this to a boil. Keep simmering while stirring intermittently to avoid the milk from sticking to the pot.
  • While the milk simmers, make sure to mix the layer of cream that comes on top and also scrape the sides.
  • Once you remove the cream layer another will form in some time.
  • Keep repeating above two steps till the milk mixture reduces almost to half and thickens.
  • Next add the condensed milk and green food color. Mix well
  • Switch off the flame and let it cool completely.
  • Once completely cool, fill in the kulfi moulds (or paper cups) and freeze for 6-8 hours
  • For serving, just hold the moulds under running water for 10 seconds or so and the kulfi should slide out easily.
  • Delicious creamy Pista Kulfi is ready- wait no more, enjoy!

Notes

  • The green food color is optional and skipping it will not alter the taste
