Kulfi is an all time favorite Indian dessert — especially in summer! It’s a little like ice cream but Kulfi has it’s own unique flavor. Try this super simple recipe. You won’t believe how easy it is!

Ingredients:

Sweetened Condensed Milk - 14 oz

Evaporated Milk – 12 oz

Heavy Whipping Cream – 16 oz

Cool Whip Whipped Topping - 16 oz

Saffron (Kesar) – 1 big pinch

Sugar – 1 tsp

Cashews, Pistachios, Almonds - 1/2 cup, coarsely ground

Method:

With a mortar and pestal, grind together Sugar and Saffron.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Sweetened Condensed Milk, Evaporated Milk, Heavy Whipping Cream and Cool Whip.
Using an electric hand blender (or by hand), gently mix all ingredients together.
Add in Saffron and Sugar mixture and Nuts. Mix well.
Pour mixture into small dixie style plastic cups. Cover cups with foil and insert a wooden popsicle stick into the center.
Freeze Kulfi for at least 4 – 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Serves 20- 25

Tips:

Kulfi can also be molded in a popsicle maker or fancy shaped ice cube trays.
Kulfi has a very long shelf life so keep some on hand for an instant dessert option when guests are over.

Hetal,

When you say dixie cups are those plastic cups or paper cups? I can easily get it from the plastic/paper plates section in walmart/kroger right?

You guys are awesome and everytime I make it out of ur recipe it just comes out perfect.

God bless you all, live long, and come up with new easy recipes everyday.

Hi Shivu,

Plastic cups work the best (the paper ones have a wax coating which makes me uncomfortable). I found them in the paper products aisle of the local grocery store.

BTW, thanks so much for your feedback!

Hi Palak,

You can find Popsicle Sticks at any hobby/craft store such as Michael’s or HobbyLobby. Make sure they are the ones for food (candy making, etc) so that they are not treated with any harmful substances.

This looks great! Only problem is that you can’t buy cool whip in my country. Will it really affect the kulfi if I leave it out, or should I find some kind of substitute? Would regular whipped cream do the job?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Daniel,

We have never made this recipe without the Cool Whip. The fluffiness of it gives a really light feeling to a normally heavy dessert. It should be alright to leave it out considering that kulfi is traditionally a very dense type of ice cream. Let us know how it turns out if you decide to try it without the cool whip.

Hi Aparna,

This kulfi will stay in the freezer for 3-4 months provided it is kept in an airtight container (else it will get freezer burn).

Can you replace the saffron with mango pulp. If you can do you have to add the sugar with it?

[Reply]
hetal Says:
July 4th, 2008 at 12:35 am
Hi Shantha,

You can add mango pulp but I don’t think you would need any extra sugar (especially if you use the canned pulp). The condensed milk in this recipe is very sweet and should take care of it. The only exception is if you use fresh mango pulp from out of season mangoes and they are on the sour side.

Here in the UK we don’t get Cool Whip. What substitute can you use for this?

[Reply]
hetal Says:
July 15th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Hi Sheila,

Although we have never tried it, you could leave the Cool Whip out. It usually make the kulfi very light but traditional kulfi is actually quite dense. Let us know how it comes out if you try it.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,

This one came out really awesome. Thanks for the easy and delicious recipe.

As a variation, if I add cardomon powder along with the saffron and the nuts, would it still be good? I am not sure of mixing the flavors…Any idea?

Thanks,
Pavithra

You can definitely add cardamom powder. It will taste great!

hi hetal didi,

what is the difference between heavy whipping cream and cool whip cream. we can buy whipping milk and blend it to get cream right.and tat cream is nothing but whipped cream right.

[Reply]
hetal Says:
October 11th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Hi Chikku,

Heavy whipping cream is a dairy product and Cool Whip (thought it looks like whipped cream) is a non-dairy product. Honestly, I have never tried this recipe with whipped heavy whipping cream. Somehow, I think that there is some ingredient in Cool Whip which makes it stand up and not fall flat over time like actual dairy cream.

Hi Sam,

“Oz” is the abbreviation for ounce. One ounce is equivalent to approx 28 grams. One fluid ounce is equivalent to approx 30 ml.

Hi Hetal & Anuja,

What is heavy whipping cream?Where can I find it

hetal Reply:

Hi Priyanka,

Heavy whipping cream is the liquid form of cream that is used to make the light and fluffy whipped cream. It comes in a cardboard carton and can be found next to the Half and Half and other milk (dairy) products.

Hello Ladies,
I have been checking your videos and found them pretty interesting. Today I have tried the kulfi…
Will surely let you know the results soon. But I must say, a simple recipe once you get hold of all the ingredients from the store..Always wondered howKulfi was made without Mawa:)
Thanks

Hey,

Can we use half n half instead of heavy whipping cream???

thanks

[Reply]
hetal Reply:
May 13th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Hi Tam,

Honestly, we’ve never tried using half and half. However, since half and half is half whole milk and half cream, the texture may come out more “solid” then using all cream. Half and half is used for ice cream, but it is usually churned.

Hi Jigna,

Sorry, we have never tried this recipe with the added fruit pulp. We would guess that it would be to taste. If you try it out, please post your results and feedback to help others. Thanks!

hetal Reply:
June 16th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
Hi Tinu,

It would be better just to mix it well with a large spoon. The blender will make the coolwhip lose it’s fluffiness. You could blend every other ingredient in a blender, take it out in a bowl and mix the cool whip in by hand.

We have never tried it, but some other viewers have said that you can whip up the whipping cream and use it instead of cool whip. Good luck!

Hi would like to try this one out but i got sundae whipped topping so can you tell if cool whip whipped topping and whipped topping are the same please?
thanks

hetal Reply:

I’m guessing that the whipped topping you have is in a can. We’ve never tried it, but it should be the same. The only thing that could be a problem is that spray canned whipped cream might fall flat a lot faster than the whipped topping from a tub. Also, it will be hard to gauge the amount of cream that will come out of a can.

Hi Hetal,
I really appreciate your response but don’t worry I went on wikipedia and checked the ingredients and yes i have the correct one. Its not in a can -its a containier just like yours but its 8 oz i got it from Aldi store.All i have to do is get two containers that’s all. The Cool Whip is just a brand name from Kraft Foods.
Thanks again for your prompt reply,
Amita

Hi Hetal and Anuja,

I tried look for the “cool whip whipped topping” in box (like the one you used here) but could only find them in can sprays types, you know! I looked for it at every possible section I could think of at Walmart. Please let me know where I can find it!

I would appreciate a quick reply as i am planning to make this for my Diwali party tomorrow. Thanks so much!
