About the Recipe
Kulfi is basically Indian-style ice cream. Originating in the 16th century (probably the Mughal Empire), it uses evaporated milk and is not whipped. As a result, it is solid and dense, taking longer to melt than other ice creams of the world. While the traditional favourite flavours for kulfi were mango, cream, rose, saffron and pistachio, modern foodies have now been adding a whole new range of flavours into the mix.

240ml skimmed milk
3 tbsp sweetener @totalsweetxylitol
1 tbsp starch @meade_farm
2 ripe mangoes +- 300g
100g fat-free Greek yoghurt
Pinch of ground cardamom
Cook the evaporated milk, skimmed milk and sweetener over medium heat, until it is the consistency of a pouring custard and let it cool down.
Blend 200g of mango.
Add the mango purée, cardamon, and yoghurt into the custard.
Pass it through a sieve.
Freeze the mix for 2 hours, blend it until smooth… repeat it once more.
Divide into 6 moulds and freeze overnight.
Leave it at room temperature for a few minutes to help it come of the mould easily.
