With its rich, creamy texture and mouth-watering mango flavor, it’s a classic Indian ice cream that’s loved by people of all ages.
Step-by-step: Easy mango kulfi in 10 Mins
Mangoes – If you are using fresh mangoes wash, peel, and pulse the fresh mango flesh/pulp in the food processor or blender until you have a smooth pureePro tip – I like to keep the puree a bit lumps so I have bits of little mango pieces in side the kulfi
Combine – In a large bowl or measuring cup, combine all the ingredients together. Use a whisk to ensure everything is well combined.Pro tip – at this time it is a good idea to taste and adjust sweetness. You can add one or more tablespoons of condensed milk to sweeten the kulfi mixture. Mold – Pour the mixture into Kulfi molds. Add the lids and popsicle sticksPro tip – I like to use a measuring cup with a spout to prevent spillage. Freeze – Place the molds in the freezer for 4 to 6 hours or overnight. Unmold – To remove the kulfi from the mold just rub your hands on the outside and gently pull it out.Pro tip– The warmth of your hands will melt the mold causing the kulfi to release from the mold

You can try adding different flavors like cardamom, pistachio, or saffron to the kulfi mixture for a unique twist. For an icy texture, you can substitute condensed milk for regular milk. Or, for a vegan alternative, you can use coconut milk instead of dairy milk. Another fun variation is to mix chunks of fresh fruit like mango, strawberry, or pineapple into the kulfi mixture before freezing. This will add a burst of fruity flavor and texture to your traditional mango kulfi. For those who love a bit of crunch in their desserts, you can mix in chopped nuts like almonds, cashews, or walnuts into the kulfi mixture before freezing. The nutty flavor and crunch will complement the creamy sweetness of the kulfi. With these variations, the possibilities are endless. Now that you have some inspiration for different flavors and textures, I’d love to see you experiment and make your own unique version of mango kulfi.
