How to make Homemade Kulfi with Mawa

with step by step instructions.

Kulfi mixture preparation

Firstly, pour full cream milk into a pan.

Add milk powder to the milk and heat it on medium flame. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.

When bubbles arise from the sides add crushed cardamoms or cardamom powder and saffron.

Let the milk boil. Don’t leave unattended.

Scrape the sides of the pan from time to time and drop the milk scrapings back into the milk.

Let milk boil and thicken.

When the milk is reduced to nearly half, add cream and mix.

Then add mawa and stir.

Continue to boil the milk for 1-2 minutes.

Now add sugar and simmer on low.

Lastly add the nuts powder and switch off flame.

Keep aside to cool.

Set Mawa Kulfi

When the reduced milk is at room temperature, pour them into conical kulfi moulds.

Secure the moulds with their covers and place them in the freezer at least overnight.

How to Demould Kulfi from the Kulfi moulds

Place the kulfi moulds in a bowl of water for a few seconds.

Open their cover.

With a knife gently run around the kulfi and then slide the kulfi onto the place.

Another way to demould kulfi is to rub the kufi mould between both palms. By doing so , heat from hands is transferred to the mould . This loosens the kulfi from the sides and helps in releasing the kulfi.

How to serve

Demould kulfi. Serve it on the kulfi stick or cut into pieces.

Sprinkle a few chopped nuts.

Tips for Perfect Kulfi recipe with Mawa

Use full cream milk.

Reduce the milk till thick. If the milk is not reduced enough then maybe crystals can form.

Use good quality mawa. I prefer homemade mawa
