Boil the full-fat milk in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
Stir in the condensed milk and cardamom powder. Simmer on low for 20–25 minutes, stirring often, until reduced to three-fourths of the quantity.
Mix cornflour and 2 tbsp milk into a smooth slurry. Pour into the pan, stirring continuously for 4–5 minutes until thickened.
Test: Dip a spoon or ladle into the mixture. If the coating on the back holds a clear line when you swipe your finger, turn off the heat.
Let the mixture cool completely to room temperature.
Gently fold in the thick mango pulp and fresh cream (if using).
Pour the mixture into the moulds or any freezer-safe container. Freeze for 8–10 hours, or overnight.
To unmould, dip the bottom of the moulds or container in warm water for a few seconds, gently pull it out, and serve.

Always add the mango pulp after the milk mixture has cooled completely.
The fresh cream adds extra richness and helps in minimising ice crystals, resulting in smoother kulfi.
If using frozen mango pulp, thaw it completely to room temperature and give it a good stir before adding it to the mix.
Can I use low-fat milk for this recipe?
Full-fat milk is recommended for the creamy texture, but you can use low-fat milk if needed. The kulfi may not be as rich.
How do I prevent ice crystals in kulfi?
Adding fresh cream helps minimise ice crystals and results in a smoother texture.
Can I use fresh mangoes instead of pulp?
Yes, blend fresh mangoes into a smooth pulp before adding them to the cooled milk mixture.
How long does kulfi take to freeze?
Kulfi typically takes 8–10 hours to freeze completely, or overnight for best results.
What can I use if I don’t have kulfi molds?
You can use any freezer-safe container or small cups as an alternative to kulfi molds.
