Falooda Kulfi
Falooda Kulfi
Ingredients
For Kulfi:
- 1 (16oz) cup heavy cream
- 1 (14 oz) can of evaporated milk. If you want you can use low fat.
- 1 (14 oz) can of condensed milk
- 8-10 strands of saffron (Kesar)
- 5-6 cardamom pods (Elaichi)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 16 oz box of cool whipped topping (fat free)
- ½ cup coarsely crushed nuts ( I used pistachios but you can also
- add almonds , cashews. And you can powder it all if you want as
- well I like it when I can get them in small bites )
For Falooda:
- 9 tablespoons rose syrup
- 3 ounces vermicelli
Instructions
- With a mortar and pestle, grind together sugar, saffron and cardamom seeds. I always prefer freshly ground cardamom and saffron.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream and cool whip.
- Using a whisk gently mix everything together. You need to be gentle otherwise cool whip melts very easily making the mixture more watery and you want it light and airy.
- Add in saffron, sugar, cardamom mixture and coarsely crushed nuts. Mix well.
- mixture into small dixie style plastic cups and cover with plastic or aluminum wrap. If you don't have cups just Pour it all in a bowl or a deep dish and cover it with a plastic wrap touching the surface of the liquid.
- Freeze Kulfi for at least 4 – 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Boil the vermicelli, drain the water out of it, and let it cool for some time (it's best to refrigerate it by putting it in a container and snapping its lid in place so it won't get stiff by cooling).
