Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Crushed pistachios
- 4 tablespoons Stevia or erythritol (granulated, sugar-free sweetener)
- 1 teaspoons Rose water
Instructions
Pour the whole milk and heavy cream into a heavy-bottomed pan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Once boiling, lower the heat to medium-low and allow the milk to simmer. Continue stirring occasionally and scrape the sides of the pan to incorporate the milk solids back into the mixture.
After about 60 minutes, the milk will reduce to half its original quantity and thicken to a creamy consistency. This is the base for the kulfi.
Add the almond flour to the reduced milk and mix well to enhance the nutty flavor and texture of the kulfi.
Stir in the cardamom powder and simmer for another 5 minutes, ensuring it's fully mixed.
Remove the pan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
Once cooled slightly, add the stevia or erythritol and rose water, stirring well to evenly incorporate the sweetener.
Mix in the crushed pistachios, reserving a small amount for garnishing if desired.
Pour the mixture into kulfi molds or small freezer-safe containers, ensuring they are filled evenly.
Cover the molds with lids or aluminum foil, and freeze for at least 6-8 hours or until fully set.
To serve, run the outside of the kulfi molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen, then gently remove the kulfi. Garnish with reserved pistachios and enjoy!
