Equipment
- freezer
- kulfi mold or ice cream mold
Ingredients
- 1 litre Full Cream Milk
- 1 can Condensed Milk or Amul Mithai Mate
- ¼ cup sugar white refined sugar
- 10-12 pieces almonds (badam) finely chopped
- 10-12 pieces pistachios (pista) finely chopped
- 10-12 pieces cashews (Kaju) do not use salted cashews (finely chopped)
- 5-6 strands saffron (Kesar)
Instructions
- In a saucepan pour 1 litre full cream milk. Place it on the gas stove or induction cooktop. Allow it to come to a boil and then reduce it to ⅓rd of its quantity.In the meantime, you need to stir slowly and frequently so that the milk doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. While stirring you will have malai stuck to the side of the saucepan, you will have to reel it into your milk.
- Add condensed Milk and Sugar. Too much sugar will make your Kulfli mixture watery. So stick to the instructions and use just ¼ cup or even less (if you want less sweet) sugar. Stir lightly until sugar dissolves into the kulfi mixture.
- Add chopped pistachios (pista), almonds (badam), and cashews (Kaju) into the kulfi mixture. Stir lightly. Turn off the gas or induction cooktop.Take it off the heat and allow it to cool down completely. Place it under the fan or keep it under the air conditioner and allow it to cool down completely.
- Pour this kulfi mixture into ice cream mold or kulfi mold or kulhad and freeze for a minimum of 8-10 hours. You can freeze it for a longer duration as well. Once done, take it out. Rub the Kulfi mold or kulhad between your palm for a while so that the warmth of your hand helps the kulfi get out from the mold.Use the back of a spoon or a knife to scoop out the sides. Pat it upside down on a plate and then once it gets out enjoy with some more crushed pistachios (pista) on top.

Notes
- You can leave out condensed milk if you want to make Malai Kulfi without Condensed Milk. Instead of Condensed Milk, you should use "Milk Powder" or "Khoya" to make the rabri.
- You can skip the sugar if you feel that both condensed milk and sugar will make your Kulfi too sweet. I have tried it with just condensed milk and it tasted amazing.
- Do not use a thickening agent like corn flour slurry to thicken your kulfi mixture. The floury taste will ruin your Kesar Pista Malai Kulfi.
