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.

Sounds like a perfect treat for the warm weather. I love the way you switched the all milk for some condensed milk. So clever!

This kulfi is very simple. Last year i made mango kulfi almost similar to this, But this year I have to find vegan version of kulifi. Adding cardamom gives extra flavor.Loved that idea.

I love a good mango kulfi. I make a simple one too. But not vegan.. Think you can use a good not dairy creamer and some coconut based cream.

It's starting to get hot here so these look so tempting and refreshing! I've only ever had lychee in a cocktail before but this sounds amazing.
