Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups full-fat milk
- 1 cup condensed milk
- ½ cup cream
- 1 tbsp paan masala
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts (optional)
- 4 matka (small clay pots)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, pour the full-fat milk and condensed milk. Whisk thoroughly until both ingredients are completely combined and smooth.
- Add the cream to the milk mixture and continue whisking until the mixture becomes uniform and creamy in texture.
- Incorporate the paan masala into the mixture, stirring gently to ensure even distribution of flavor throughout the kulfi base.
- If using nuts, finely chop them and fold them into the mixture, reserving a small portion for garnishing later.
- Prepare the matka (clay pots) by cleaning them thoroughly and ensuring they are completely dry.
- Carefully pour the prepared kulfi mixture into each matka, leaving a small space at the top for expansion during freezing.
- Cover each matka with aluminum foil or a tight-fitting lid to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Place the matkas in the freezer for 6-8 hours or overnight until the kulfi is completely set and firm.
- Before serving, remove the kulfi from the freezer and let it rest at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften.
- Garnish with reserved chopped nuts and an extra sprinkle of paan masala if desired before serving.
