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. (Place any leftover ground cardamom in a small freezer safe zip lock bag, seal and freeze for several months).
How to make?
Cook strawberry – Wash, remove leaves of fruits and chop them into small pieces. Add into a saucepan with some sugar and cook over low to medium heat, until it breaks down and becomes pulpy. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Make ice cream – Beat heavy cream using an electric beater until soft peaks form. Add cooked pulp, milkmaid, cardamom powder and a pinch of salt, continue beating until thick.
Freeze – Pour mixture into popsicle moulds, Dixie cups or any freezer safe container, and freeze overnight or until completely solid.
How long can this be stored?
If sealed well, this dessert can be frozen for up to a month and enjoyed all summer long.
How to serve?
Use an ice cream scoop to serve in glass bowls or an ice cream cone OR un mold / snip off the dixie cup to remove the kulfi on a stick.
