Ingredients

• 4 cups whole milk

• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (pistachios, almonds)
• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
• 1/4 tsp saffron strands (optional)

Directions

1. In a heavy-bottomed pan, bring the milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
2. Once the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally until the milk is reduced to half its original volume.
3. Add sugar, chopped nuts, cardamom powder, and saffron strands to the reduced milk, stirring well to combine.
4. Continue to simmer the mixture for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a custard-like consistency.
5. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
6. Pour the kulfi mixture into popsicle molds or small bowls, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until set.
7. To serve, unmold the kulfi by running the molds under warm water for a few seconds and gently removing the kulfi.
8. Garnish with additional chopped nuts, if desired, and enjoy the creamy goodness of homemade kulfi!
