Ingredients

  • 1 1 cup pistachios or 1 cup almonds
  • dried black raisins
  • vanilla essence
  • 2 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 pinch cardamom powder
  • 2 cups milk

Method

  • Powder all the nuts in a grinder.
  • Dissolve the nutty mixture in cold milk without goops.
  • Bring to a boil. Add vanilla essence, cardamom powder, raisins and sugar at the fag end. Say, a minute before the milk reaches boiling point.
  • Let cool before you pour them into individual serving dishes and freeze for at least 2 hours.
  • Remove just before serving and release the ice cream kulfi from the sides of the dish with a sharp knife. There you go. Home made rich and creamy ice cream to entice your kids with some nutritious and energy filled summer dessert!
  • Tips:
  • You can substitute any other food essence or sherbet syrup for flavor and color. I sometimes use the Roohafsa syrup by "Hamdard" for a rose essence and red color! Just use you imagination to use real fruits, color and essence to make your kids eat the fresh good things of nature!
  • For weight watchers and diabetics, you may use Splenda or brown sugar. It still tastes great!
