Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1¼ cups evaporated milk
1¼ cups heavy cream
5 tablespoons sugar
4 ounces pistachios, finely ground
A pinch of saffron threads
Chopped pistachios, to serve

Steps:

  • Pour the evaporated milk, cream, and sugar into a saucepan and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring it fairly frequently to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • When it starts to boil, turn the heat down, add the ground pistachios and saffron, and simmer for around 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to a bowl and leave to cool down, then put in the fridge. When it is cold, pour into kulfi molds or a freezable container, cover and freeze for 2 to 3 hours.
  • To remove the kulfis from their molds, dip them into hot water for a second, turn them upside down over a plate, and give them a sharp tap on the top.
  • Serve with a sprinkling of chopped pistachios.
