Calories 300 kcal
- 1 liter Milk Full-fat for richer flavor
- ¼ cup Condensed Milk
- ¼ teaspoon Cardamom Powder Elaichi powder
- 6-8 Dried Figs Anjeer
- 8 Cashews
- 2 Dates
- ½ cup Milk extra
Prep the Dry Fruits:
Roughly chop the cashews and dates.
If your figs are very dry, soak them in warm water for 15 minutes to soften.
2.Make the Dry Fruit Paste:
In a blender, combine the chopped cashews, dates, and softened figs. Add the extra 1/2 cup milk and blend until you get a smooth, thick paste.
Reduce the Milk:
In a heavy-bottomed pot, bring the 1 liter of milk to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the milk reduces to half its original volume. This can take about 45-60 minutes.
Combine and Thicken:
Once the milk is reduced, add the dry fruit paste, condensed milk, and cardamom powder.
Stir continuously over low heat for another 10-15 minutes.
The mixture should thicken and reach a consistency slightly thicker than custard.
Consistency Check: (Optional, but helpful)
Turn off the heat and dip a clean finger into the mixture. Run your finger across the back of a spoon. If the trail left by your finger remains clear and doesn't readily fill back in, the kulfi mixture has reached the desired consistency.
Cooling and Freezing:
Let the kulfi mixture cool completely at room temperature.
Once cool, transfer the mixture to kulfi molds or any small airtight containers. If you using a glass then to airtight it use Ekvee Foodwrap as shown in the video
Serving:
To unmold, dip the molds briefly in warm water for a few seconds. This will loosen the kulfi and allow for easy removal.
