How to Make Kulfi | Strawberry Kulfi Recipe

Ice cream is a dessert loved around the world.  It can be made many different ways using a vast array of flavoring.  I have always loved learning about different cultures and their foods.  When I learned that the people of India and the surrounding region enjoy eating an ice cream called Kulfi, I had to try it out for myself.

I meticulously searched recipes online and found that this dessert can be made different ways.  I wanted to make this recipe using the least amount of ingredients as possible.  I like to keep things simple.  I found that using whole milk with just sugar and cardamom was the most basic form of this recipe.  

I also found that Kulfi is commonly flavored with nuts and or mangos.  While I enjoy mangos, I wanted to see if I could make this using strawberries instead.  This might not be the most traditional ingredient for Kulfi but it was really nice.  

One day I hope to travel to the region and try Kulfi from the experts.

Here is how I made my take on Kulfi:

Ingredients:

     - 1 cup strawberry puree

     - 1/8 cup sugar

     - 1 liter whole milk

     - 1 tablespoon cardamom

     - 1/8 cup sugar

Directions:

1. Start by adding strawberries and sugar to a pot and heat over medium heat until strawberries have reduced to a puree.  Turn off heat and strain puree.
2. In a wide bottom pot, add milk and heat on medium-low until it reduces to half its volume.  Stir continuously.  
3. Turn off heat and add sugar, puree and cardamom.  Stir in.  
4. Let cool to room temperature.
5. Add small amounts of cardamom to the bottom of molds.  Fill with reduced milk mixture and freeze 5-6 hours.
