If you've ever been to an Indian restaurant, you probably have eaten this delicious Indian ice cream/popsicle called Kulfi. It is typically served in a tiny earthen pot.

It's not hard like a popsicle, but rather very creamy and milky.  In fact, kulfi has no eggs or custard, so the structure is very soft and melts in your mouth. It's a real treat.

About this kulfi

Traditionally, kulfi is made with whole milk that has been heated for hours on low heat so that the milk is reduced to almost ⅓ of its original quantity. Yes! It's is very high is milk fat!

But nowadays, we have no time to spend watching over a boiling pot of milk for hours. So, here is my abbreviated method for making homemade lychee kulfi using condensed milk and evaporated milk.

Well, I say abbreviated way of doing it, but it's a quick and simple way of doing it. So, half your work is done for you and put in a can. There are some readymade products like condensed milk, or puff pastry, where you can't help but be grateful for technology.

Step by step instructions

  • Crush the lychees using a blender.
  • Next, whip the cream to soft peaks.
  • In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together - start by pouring in the condensed milk, followed by the evaporated milk.
  • Then, add the crushed lychees.
  • Next, fold in the whipped cream.
  • Then, pour into kulfi or popsicle molds.
  • Freeze for a couple hours (4 to 6 hours or overnight).
  • To remove from the mold, just dip the kulfi or popsicle mold in warm water.

    Veena your kulfi is calling my name. Lychee with cold kulfi is best I haven't tasted this kulfi though I will when I can get hold of fresh lychee as it is really expensive here.
