We love kulfi recipes around here! It began with our hugely popular Homemade Kulfi that we shared a few years ago. You guys have been loving it so much we come up with variations every year and one such delicious twist is this 3 ingredient chocolate ice cream.
What is kulfi?
Kulfi is an Indian ice cream that is made be cooking milk over low heat for a long period, until it has thickened and reduced in volume, sweetened and frozen in small earthen pot molds known an Matki. It is usually much denser than ice cream.
Difference between Kulfi and Ice cream
Kulfi is denser and not whipped, resulting in a denser solid than the creamy custard base which is used to make ice cream. Another main difference is kulfi is usually made without eggs and has no preservatives.
What is chocolate Kulfi ?
It is a fun variation to the traditional recipe! Kids love all things chocolate and this ice cream recipe is gonna become every kid’s favorite.
How to freeze kulfi?
Transfer ice cream mixture into any freezer safe container with an air tight seal or popsicle molds. There are various types of molds available online like stainless steel, plastic or paper cups like the ones we used.
Don’t have kulfi molds? Transfer whipped kulfi mixture into any freezer safe container, cover and freeze overnight. Scoop with an ice cream scoop (or even a spoon) into serving bowls and enjoy!

Notes
Cocoa powder – A good quality cocoa powder is great for this recipe. Since cocoa powder varies by the brand, I recommend adding 1/2 cup minus 1 tablespoon cocoa powder to the recipe, taste after it is thoroughly mixed in (remember that the chocolate flavor will deepen as it it freezes) and then add more if you desire.
I used Dixie paper cups and Popsicle sticks. You can use any popsicle mould that you have around.
