Mango Kulfi, a rich and creamy frozen summer delight made from the mango and thickened milk. Kulfi is a frozen milk dessert from India, nowadays it comes with various flavors and this mango kulfi is one of the famous flavors across India.
I had tasted kulfi(store bought) a few times in the past and really loved the creaminess and flavor. It's such an easy & creamy frozen dessert to make without any ice cream machine.
In today's recipe, I have used kesar mango pulp available in the can, but you can use the fresh mangoes too, but make sure that they are sweet and have less fiber varieties. Depending on the sweetness of the mango, you can add more or less sugar as per your preference.
Though i make popsicles often in summer, i'm not a big fan of any frozen dessert or never once crave for them. Yep that's true, now i can imagine your facial expression while reading this line, it's hard to say it in the public, every time when i say "i don't like ice cream/popsicle", people has that confused look on their face, i can totally understand because i myself never seen any person who don't like ice cream/popsicle outside of my family.
As a kid, me and my brother were very prone to cold and got sick often, just like any doctors, our doctor also suggested avoiding frozen dessert and our parents took it very religiously and kept us out of frozen desserts completely. After I grew up, I found that all the frozen treats are too cold for my throat and it hurts really , so I stopped having ice creams altogether . That's my story and ice creams!!
Nowadays I make all these frozen treats for ST only, he is a big frozen dessert lover, like all kinds of ice creams and popsicles. I post here only after he approves and gives a big thumbs up !! and for this kulfi he gave a big thumbs up. Once it melted, I too had a few spoons, it's indeed delicious!!! So, now let's check out the recipe.
