How To Make Malai Kulfi (Step By Step Recipe With Photos):

1) Take milk in a sauce pan or wide pan.

2) Bring the milk to a boil on medium heat. Do stir frequently. Make sure it is not sticking to the bottom and sides of the pan. Stay nearby, milk may overflow. So be careful.

3) Once it come to a boil, make the heat to medium-low. Let it cook with stirring occasionally till it becomes ⅓ of original volume. It took me about 35-40 minutes. NOTE: It is crucial to stir the milk and also scrap the sides and bottom of the pan. If doing so, you are preventing the milk from burning. If milk burns, it tastes really bad.

4) Then add sugar.

5) add khoya or milk powder.

6) Mix well and simmer till sugar and khoya is melted. It took me 5 minutes. Then turn OFF the stove heat.

7) Add heavy whipping cream and stir well.

8) Add cardamom powder.

9) Also add sliced almonds and pistachio. Mix well.

10) Add rose water and mix.

11) Let it cool completely. It will get thicker as it cools. It is very important to cool completely before pouring and freezing into moulds.

12) I removed it to a large measuring cup. So it gets cool faster and it will be easier to pour into kulfi moulds.

13) Once it is cooled to room temperature, pour into kulfi moulds or Popsicle molds. Alternately you can use small plastic cups or shot glass or kullad.

14) Cover it with lid. Or cover with aluminum foil. It must be covered, so ice crystals will not form on top.

15) Prepare all the moulds and ready to go into freezer. Let it set overnight in freezer or until it is firm, frozen and set.

16) I lost or forgot where I put my mould stand, So I used ice cube tray. Luckily moulds fit perfectly in it.

Once it is set or frozen, it is time to serve. To remove the kulfi from the mould, dip it into warm water for 1-2 seconds only, it will come out very easily. Alternately, rub it between your palms. From the heat of the palm, side will get loose and will come out from the glass or mould.

Garnish with some chopped nuts like pistachios or almonds. Many like to slice it and serve just like restaurant or stall one.
