Tips & Tricks

  1. Stir the milk continuously while boiling to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

  2. You can use any dry fruits of your choice, such as almonds, pistachios, or cashews, for added flavor.

  3. For a creamier texture, you can add a small amount of fresh cream to the milk mixture before freezing.

FAQS

  1. Can I use low-fat milk instead of full cream milk?

    It is recommended to use full cream milk for a rich and creamy texture, but you can use low-fat milk if preferred. The kulfi may be slightly less creamy.

  2. How long should I freeze the kulfi?

    Freeze the kulfi for at least 6-8 hours or overnight for the best results.

  3. Can I use an alternative sweetener instead of sugar?

    Yes, you can use alternative sweeteners like honey or stevia, but the taste and texture may vary slightly.

  4. Can I skip the custard powder?

    Custard powder helps in thickening the mixture and gives a smooth texture. If you skip it, the kulfi may not set as well.

  5. How can I unmold the kulfi easily?

    To unmold the kulfi, dip the mold in warm water for a few seconds and gently pull it out.
