Chocolate Kulfi (Ice Cream) image

This recipe is from The Best Ever Chocolate cookbook published by Paragon Books. "Kulfi is a delicately spiced Indian ice cream traditionally made in tube-shaped terracotta containers. Although chocolate is not an authentic ingredient, it makes the ice cream even more of a treat." Passive cooking time is the freezing time.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 liters whole milk (3.5 pints)
12 cardamom pods
85 g golden caster sugar, light brown is ok (3 oz)
100 g bittersweet chocolate or 100 g semisweet chocolate, good quality (3.5 oz)
10 g blanched almonds, chopped (1/4 oz)
25 g unsalted shelled pistachios, chopped (1 oz)

Steps:

  • Heat milk and cardamom pods together in a large, heavy saucepan; bring to boil, then simmer vigorously until liquid is reduced to 1/3 of original amount.
  • Strain the liquid into a heat-proof bowl, discarding the cardamom, then stir in the sugar and chocolate until melted.
  • Add the almonds and half of the pistachios, then leave to cool.
  • Pour mixture into a large freezer-proof container, cover and freeze for at least 2 hours (or until firm), stirring every 30mins.
  • Pack the kulfi into 6 yogurt pots or any freezer-proof molds/cups, cover with clingfilm and freeze for 8 hours, or until completely solid.
  • To serve, dip the base of the molds briefly into hot water, then unmold kulfi onto dessert plates.
  • Sprinkle with remaining pistachios and serve immediately.
