Kesar Pista Kulfi – Saffron & Pistachios Ice-cream - Price: $0

Hey there, saffron lovers and dessert enthusiasts! Today, I’m thrilled to share with you a delightful recipe that perfectly embodies the essence of summer: Kesar Pista Kulfi, also known as Saffron & Pistachios Ice-cream.

At Saffron Cottage, we’re all about celebrating the rich flavors and cultural heritage of saffron, and what better way to do that than with this indulgent and creamy treat!

Why Kulfi?
Kulfi, the traditional Indian frozen dessert, holds a special place in our hearts. Unlike regular ice cream, kulfi is denser and creamier, thanks to its slow cooking process that reduces the water content, intensifying the flavors. It’s a dessert that’s been enjoyed for generations, especially during hot summer days, and we’re excited to put a saffron twist on it!


The Magic of Saffron
Saffron, the world’s most precious spice, adds a unique floral aroma, vibrant color, and subtle sweetness to any dish. Known for its luxurious flavor profile and numerous health benefits, saffron elevates this kulfi recipe to a whole new level.

Ingredients:
2 cups full-fat milk
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup sugar
A generous pinch of saffron threads
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
A few saffron strands and chopped pistachios for garnish
Instructions:
Infuse the Milk: In a heavy-bottomed pan, bring the milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the saffron threads and let them infuse for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce and Sweeten: Once the milk has reduced to about half its original volume, add the sweetened condensed milk, sugar, chopped pistachios, and cardamom powder. Stir well and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Cool and Freeze: Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool down to room temperature. Pour the mixture into kulfi molds or small cups. Insert wooden sticks or skewers into the center of each kulfi. Place them in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Serve and Enjoy: Once the kulfi is fully frozen, remove them from the molds by running them under warm water for a few seconds. Garnish with a few saffron strands and chopped pistachios before serving.
