PistachioKulfi_HNTThis recipe brings back a lot of memories – I devised an International tasting menu in 2011 and competed in Come Dine With Me Canada. While my menu featured tasty treats from around the world, I decided to end on a not too sweet and creamy note Pistachio Kulfi.

Rosy-SoobratteeMaking this Kulfi connected me to my good friend Rosy Banwait-Sobratree who had also made Kulfi on another reality TV show – we were bonded by our victories and our love for this frozen treat. Sadly Rosy passed away last year after a battle with cancer. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of her and I’d like to dedicate this post in her memory.
This recipe originated in India but has gained popularity all over the world. I’ve since made this recipe many many times. I invested in Kulfi moulds, make a large batch in advance for a party and then simply throw it into a bag to serve later. If you don’t have a Kulfi mould, have no fear, this also works set in a popsicle mould, a cake pan or even tupperware. This is my shortcut version, I’m using whipped cream to get that creamy consistency and there is no cooking involved as well. You need to make sure that your equipment and ingredients are chilled so you don’t drop the temperature of the ice-cream.
