Mango Kulfi

A Kulfi is a frozen dessert, like an ice-cream but far more creamier. It's origin is in the Indian sub-continent and is usually available in flavors like saffron (kesar), pistachio, mango and other regional fruit.
I had a delicious mango kulfi at R's place last week-end. This is her recipe.

Ingredients:

2 cans evaporated milk
1 can condensed milk
1 can nestle table cream
1 can deep alphonso mango pulp. (available in Indian grocery stores)
1 fresh mango
Method:
Blend all 5 cans with a hand whisk and make it smooth. Fill the creamy mixture into molds and freeze. You can buy ice-cream/ popsicle molds or use an ice-cube tray as well. Garnish with fresh mango cubes and pistachios.

My all-time favorite kulfi is the custard applekulfi. The custard apple is another ethnic Indian fruit, from the apple family. It is also commonly called the 'sugar-apple'. Try it, you'll never look back.
