What is Strawberry Kulfi?
It is a spring spin to the traditional Indian Kulfi ice with the addition of strawberries. Instead of adopting the traditional method of making a custard base and then churning in an ice cream maker to make a creamy recipe at home, we turned to the no churn method to make the easiest and creamiest ice cream.
Can I use frozen strawberries?
We HIGHLY recommend using fresh berries in season when they are naturally sweet and packed with flavor when compared to frozen ones. However, frozen fruits may be used if fresh ones are not available.
Tips for Success
Strawberry – Select sweet, ripe and juicy fruits that deep pink in cold all the way through. This not helps in attaining a pretty pink color but also makes it more fruity.
Work with cold cream – Very cold cream and cooked strawberry puree is essential for good volume. It helps if pulp is made one day ahead, so that it has plenty of time to chill.
Cardamom Powder – We highly recommend using freshly ground cardamom for the best flavor.
How to make cardamom powder? Grind about two to three tablespoons green cardamoms in a dry spice grinder, until finely ground. Measure 2 teaspoons for the recipe. Refer to the round up post recipes using cardamom on my preferred method to store ground cardamom.
