Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 0.125 teaspoon Saffron strands
- 2 tablespoons Blanched almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Rose water (optional)
Instructions
In a saucepan, combine heavy cream and unsweetened almond milk over medium heat and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Add powdered erythritol, cardamom powder, and saffron strands to the mixture, stirring well to ensure the sweetener dissolves completely.
Slowly sprinkle in the almond flour while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. This will help thicken the mixture naturally.
Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for about 15-20 minutes or until it reduces by roughly one-third and reaches a thickened, creamy consistency.
Remove the mixture from heat and stir in rose water, if using, for an additional layer of floral aroma.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then pour it evenly into kulfi molds or small cups.
Cover the molds with foil and insert an ice cream stick into each mold. Freeze the kulfi for at least 6-8 hours, or until fully set.
Once frozen, unmold the kulfi by running the molds under warm water for a few seconds. Garnish with chopped pistachios and serve immediately.
