Cardamon Cinnmaon Kulfi

I know it is winter out there, yet I still like my cold desserts after dinner. Especially the ones with spicy earthy flavors that work so well when enjoying them by the burning fireplace.

Kulfi or Qulfi is a popular frozen dairy dessert from the Indian Subcontinent. It is often described as “traditional Indian Subcontinent ice-cream”. It has a flavor that is nothing like western ice cream due to the use of sweetened condensed milk and the traditional flavors like cardamon, cinnamon, rose, mango, saffron and pistachio.

summary: A classic kulfi with cardamon and cinnamon. Minutes to prepare, over night freeze, and you have an amazing dessert that will get all the “wow” and “ummm” you ever wanted for your cooking!
