3 ingredient, lip-smacking Malai kulfi is so addictive. Malai Kulfi can be prepared within 25 minutes. Perfect summer/spring frozen dessert.
The moment I think about summer, ice cream comes to my mind. Along with ice cream, Kulfi was one of favorites ever since childhood days. During our summer holidays mostly we will go to my uncle's house to spend time with cousin, and to escape from chennai heat. Well living in Seattle at times I miss the chennai weather
Whenever we spend peak summer in chennai (Agni nakshtaram) Amma won't let's us go out in the noon. In between tv, sleep, computer games, I will wait for the bell. Yes kulfi vendor.
Those days the way he unmolds the kulfi gave me lot of fascination. I never stopped demanding for a second helping. In fact at times even before finishing first I would start thinking about second.
When it comes to Ice cream Vishvak is no exception. Pistachio ice cream is one of this favorites. Recently we went to my friend's place for dinner and after dinner we all were chit chatting and my friend said she got kulfi from Costco and asked what flavor we need. Moment I heard kulfi I was super excited.
Suddenly I realized why I haven't thought about making kulfi yet. Of late I started using lot of heavy cream - here is an ice cream without it.
Frozen dessert is super addictive believe me you can't stop with one . Well for my popsicle size I should. Cook for 25 minutes and freeze. If you are looking for no cook kulfi check out my 2 ingredients Mango kulfi.

Notes
2.Using nuts is optional, it gives nice crunch to the kulfi
3.Saffron can be added while boiling the milk but I preferred adding it towards the ends so it won't change the kulfi color
4.Kulfi can be refrigerated for 5 minutes and unmold
5.Enjoy kulfi immediately after un molding else it night become watery
6.If you prefer to reduce cooking time increase the milk powder ratio
I love home made Kulfis, nothing to really beat that taste 🙂 This looks amazing Vidya!
Great snack Vidya!
Delicious.... Looks perfect vids
Oh my this look so creamy and indulgent! I definitely need to try this recipe!
This looks so amazing Vidya. I made kulfi this week it was so hot here.. I I think I'll try this one next.. Yum.
Delicious!Perfect for this summer here.
The hot days of summer are just around the corner (I hope). Cool tasty treats will be a welcome for sure. These look and sound delicious. Bring on the summer and fun treats.
I have never had kulfi, but that HAS to change. Those pictures have me drooling and wish I had some in my freezer right now!
MUST try this!
I am definitely pinning this as I know that I personally would enjoy this for summer! I love cardamom spice and seeing this delish popsicle has that got me all excited!
This looks like a yummy treat for a hot day, and I love that it comes together quickly. I've never had kulfi before but would love to try this!
This is perfect for summer. I like that you use the non-instant milk powder. It is so much richer in flavor and adds body to the ice cream.
Perfect ice pop for Florida's hot weather. This time of the year I look for ice pops to have for my grandson so this one I will try soon in my kitchen thanks!
I tried this ice cream once in a restaurant and l loved it, l was looking for an easy recipe but couldn't find one. This is just amazing, the perfect recipe, l just love ice creams.
YUM! These are so perfect for summer. I've never had them before, but can't wait to try the recipe very soon!
Vidya, malai kulfi looks creamy rich . I like the way you used milk powder instead of malai and made kulfi with milk. You can save some for me too.
I absolutely love kulfi and this will be my favorite with the least ingredients and full of flavor. I love milk ice cream and love that this is made without the heavy cream. I am going to give this recipe a try soon.
I've never heard of these before. We are big ice pop fans, this sounds like an interesting way to add some flavor to a frozen treat on a warm night.
I know this tastes very good. Before I was vegan I made this lot of times. Now I am looking for better recipe:) beautiful presentation Vidya!
I know what you mean about those long, hot summer days. Living in the south US for the past few years, it's hot 9 months out of the year. I don't like going out mid-day to evening most hot days. This sounds like an incredibly delicious and refreshing treat to enjoy, yum!
Well, your ice cream looks lip-smacking good! Yes, indeed, my mouth is watering and I just finished breakfast. I really like your use of different ingredients to change the typical flavor of ice cream. I've got to get some forms for ice cream.
Lovely Summer snack for a hot day.. and fab photos too
One of my favorites ! Kulfi the name itself brings lot of nostalgic memories!!! This is a regular flavor at home! beautifully presented ! 🙂
