Mango Malai Kulfi

🍰 Desserts

Alphonso mango folded into reduced milk, the summer kulfi of Indian streets. Cold, creamy and scoopable — no ice crystals, no apologies. Serve in chilled bowls or cones straight from the freezer.

Prep 28 min Cook 5 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Milk1 litre
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Mango2, pureed
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    If using an ice cream maker, freeze the bowl a full day ahead and chill the custard base overnight.

  2. 2

    Dissolve the sugar into the base — warm gently for custard styles, just stir for fruit bases.

  3. 3

    Blend in the mango — taste again; the frozen version will be less sweet and less intense than this.

  4. 4

    Freeze in a shallow tray, scraping and stirring vigorously every 30 minutes, three or four rounds, if churning by hand.

  5. 5

    Freeze solid for at least four hours, then let it sit five minutes at room temperature before scooping.

Chef's tip

Salt is the missing ingredient in most home desserts — a small pinch makes chocolate and caramel taste more like themselves.
