Chocolate Kulfi Recipes

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan, whisk milks, cream, milk powder, cardamom, sea salt and, if desired, saffron until blended. Cook over low heat until mixture thickens slightly, about 15 minutes, stirring constantly. Do not allow to boil. Remove from heat. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl; cool., Stir in cashews, pistachios and extract. Transfer to six 4-oz. ramekins. Cover and freeze for 8 hours or overnight. If desired, serve with additional nuts.

Steps:

• Heat milk and cardamom pods together in a large, heavy saucepan; bring to boil, then simmer vigorously until liquid is reduced to 1/3 of original amount.
• Strain the liquid into a heat-proof bowl, discarding the cardamom, then stir in the sugar and chocolate until melted.
• Add the almonds and half of the pistachios, then leave to cool.
• Pour mixture into a large freezer-proof container, cover and freeze for at least 2 hours (or until firm), stirring every 30mins.
• Pack the kulfi into 6 yogurt pots or any freezer-proof molds/cups, cover with clingfilm and freeze for 8 hours, or until completely solid.
• To serve, dip the base of the molds briefly into hot water, then unmold kulfi onto dessert plates.
• Sprinkle with remaining pistachios and serve immediately.
