Kulfi is the Indian ice cream. Originated in the Indian sub continent, kulfi was an aristocratic summer treat. Made from evaporated sweetened milk, kulfi has a rich and dense taste when compared to the western concept of ice creams. The best part is the flavors - you can keep experimenting with new flavors and the kulfi will still be its best. There are varieties of kulfi recipes which include different methods of preparation. This kulfi recipe was shared by my mother. I gave it a shot, my first. When I tasted it, I knew I have to share it with you!

1 litre milk
