Creamy Mango Kulfi
This summer season, I bought you a lot of mango recipes. One of the posts that got really popular on my blog was 5 MANGO RECIPES YOU NEED TO TRY THIS SUMMER
It got so much love from the mango lovers around the world that I decided to give you some more love with my favorite Indian mango Icecream called Kulfi. This recipe is exotic and fun. I’m not going to say much about it as I’d like you to try it out to know why I love it so much. Its one of those no-churn icecream recipes that still turn out creamy without any hassle
Creamy Mango Kulfi
LET’S TALK INGREDIENTS
MANGO
I use ripe Alphonso mangoes for any mango recipe. They have a bright color and tastes great. You can even use ready-made mango puree’s but nothing like using the fresh fruit itself
FRESH CREAM
Use good quality fresh cream. I like to use full fat. Overseas, this one’s popularly known as whipped cream. In Bombay, its sold as fresh cream. Basically, it’s not the cream used to cover a cream cake but the cooking cream we use to make chocolate ganache or pannacotta
MILKMAID / CONDENSED MILK
Ah !! Who doesn’t like digging into a can of milkmaid? I’m a fan. This is the ingredient which adds sweetness with more creaminess to your Ice cream. I’ve mentioned a quantity which suits me best, however, I’d like you to adjust it according to your preference. Normally, I always make Ice cream one scale sweeter than my normal preference but feel free to adjust this one as per your taste
MAWA/KHOYA
Mawa, popularly known as khoya in India is a dairy-based product. It is made from milk that is thickened or dried whole milk. This is what gives the ice cream a grainy rich malai(creamy) texture. I think any dish that contains mawa/khoya has to turn delicious. People overseas, look out for khoya powder in Indian stores. Other names for Mawa- Khoya/Koa/Maua/Khuwa/Khuaa
Mawa/Khoya is easily available in India however, all my overseas friends, if you still struggling to find it just make it yourself. Take 2 cups of unsalted ricotta cheese and cook it on the medium heat for 10 mins on the gas. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to it and mix well. Add 3 cups of dry milk powder and continue cooking it for 10 mins or until it thickens. There you have, homemade mawa/khoya
You can skip this ingredient, your ice cream will still form and taste good. But trust me, this is one ingredient that enhances a regular ice cream recipe into a super-duper one.
