Kulfi is an all time favorite Indian dessert — especially in summer! It’s a little like ice cream but Kulfi has it’s own unique flavor. Try this super simple recipe. You won’t believe how easy it is!
Ingredients:
Sweetened Condensed Milk - 14 oz
Evaporated Milk - 12 oz
Heavy Whipping Cream - 16 oz
Cool Whip Whipped Topping - 16 oz
Saffron (Kesar) - 1 big pinch
Sugar - 1 tsp
Cashews, Pistachios, Almonds - 1/2 cup, coarsely ground
Method:
- With a mortar and pestal, grind together Sugar and Saffron.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine Sweetened Condensed Milk, Evaporated Milk, Heavy Whipping Cream and Cool Whip.
- Using an electric hand blender (or by hand), gently mix all ingredients together.
- Add in Saffron and Sugar mixture and Nuts. Mix well.
- Pour mixture into small dixie style plastic cups. Cover cups with foil and insert a wooden popsicle stick into the center.
- Freeze Kulfi for at least 4 - 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Serves 20- 25
Tips:
- Kulfi can also be molded in a popsicle maker or fancy shaped ice cube trays.
- Kulfi has a very long shelf life so keep some on hand for an instant dessert option when guests are over.
Watch and learn!

Hetal,
When you say dixie cups are those plastic cups or paper cups? I can easily get it from the plastic/paper plates section in walmart/kroger right?
You guys are awesome and everytime I make it out of ur recipe it just comes out perfect.
God bless you all, live long, and come up with new easy recipes everyday.

Hi Shivu,
Plastic cups work the best (the paper ones have a wax coating which makes me uncomfortable). I found them in the paper products aisle of the local grocery store.
BTW, thanks so much for your feedback!

Hi Palak,
You can find Popsicle Sticks at any hobby/craft store such as Michael’s or HobbyLobby. Make sure they are the ones for food (candy making, etc) so that they are not treated with any harmful substances.

This looks great! Only problem is that you can’t buy cool whip in my country. Will it really affect the kulfi if I leave it out, or should I find some kind of substitute? Would regular whipped cream do the job?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Daniel,
We have never made this recipe without the Cool Whip. The fluffiness of it gives a really light feeling to a normally heavy dessert. It should be alright to leave it out considering that kulfi is traditionally a very dense type of ice cream. Let us know how it turns out if you decide to try it without the cool whip.

Hi Aparna,
This kulfi will stay in the freezer for 3-4 months provided it is kept in an airtight container (else it will get freezer burn).

This does NOT taste nothing like kulfi, it tastes like vanilla ice creme. So i don’t know what you mean by “Kulfi”

Hi,

Can you replace the saffron with mango pulp. If you can do you have to add the sugar with it?
July 4th, 2008 at 12:35 am
Hi Shantha,
You can add mango pulp but I don’t think you would need any extra sugar (especially if you use the canned pulp). The condensed milk in this recipe is very sweet and should take care of it. The only exception is if you use fresh mango pulp from out of season mangoes and they are on the sour side.

Here in the UK we don’t get Cool Whip. What substitute can you use for this?
July 15th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Hi Sheila,
Although we have never tried it, you could leave the Cool Whip out. It usually make the kulfi very light but traditional kulfi is actually quite dense. Let us know how it comes out if you try it.

Hi!!!!!Thankx a lot……I got all material but i could not find cool whip…i don’t know without that can i make or not? but it looks so yummy.

August 11th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Hi Hetal and Anuja,
This one came out really awesome. Thanks for the easy and delicious recipe.
As a variation, if I add cardomon powder along with the saffron and the nuts, would it still be good? I am not sure of mixing the flavors…Any idea?
Thanks,
Pavithra

Hi Pavithra,
You can definitely add cardamom powder. It will taste great!

hi hetal didi,
what is the difference between heavy whipping cream and cool whip cream. we can buy whipping milk and blend it to get cream right.and tat cream is nothing but whipped cream right.
October 11th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Hi Chikku,
Heavy whipping cream is a dairy product and Cool Whip (thought it looks like whipped cream) is a non-dairy product. Honestly, I have never tried this recipe with whipped heavy whipping cream. Somehow, I think that there is some ingredient in Cool Whip which makes it stand up and not fall flat over time like actual dairy cream.
