A creamy, luscious Indian frozen dessert infused with the tropical sweetness of mango, aromatic cardamom, and saffron. This easy-to-make kulfi recipe uses a Cuisinart ice cream maker for a quick yet authentic treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mango pulp (Alphonso or Kesar recommended)
  • 12 oz evaporated milk (1 can)
  • A pinch of salt
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup organic cane sugar
  • ½ tsp cardamom powder (optional)
  • 10–12 saffron strands (soaked in 1 tbsp warm milk)
  • 1 tbsp chopped pistachios (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Blend the Base: In a blender, combine sugar, evaporated milk, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the sugar dissolves completely. Add mango pulp, cardamom powder, and saffron (along with its soaking milk). Blend again until smooth.
  2. Incorporate Cream: Gently fold in heavy cream using a spatula to maintain its airy texture. Avoid overmixing to preserve creaminess.
  3. Chill the Mixture (Optional): For enhanced flavor and quicker churning, refrigerate the mixture for about two hours.
  4. Churn in Ice Cream Maker: Pour the chilled mixture into your pre-frozen Cuisinart ice cream maker bowl. Churn for about 25–30 minutes or until the kulfi reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  5. Freeze to Set: Transfer the churned kulfi into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover tightly with plastic wrap or an airtight lid. Freeze for 5–6 hours or until firm.
  6. Serve & Garnish: Scoop or slice the kulfi and garnish with chopped pistachios before serving.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve in traditional terracotta pots (matkas) for an authentic touch.
  • Pair with warm gulab jamun or fresh berries for added flair.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use Alphonso or Kesar mango pulp for the richest flavor.
  • Chill all ingredients before blending to reduce churning time.
  • Avoid over-churning as it can affect texture.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store leftover kulfi in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
  • Allow it to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
