easy creamy kulfi recipe

4 slices of white bread
1 tbsp rose water (but if you dont have it, no biggy, tho it does add a really nice fragrance and slight yummy rose flavor) 

Little more than a handful of almonds (or other nuts, like pistachios, or any mix of nuts if you want)
5 cardamom pods
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 12 oz can carnation evaporated milk
1 big container of Cool Whip (leave this in the fridge for a couple hours before making this recipe, you dont want it thick and frozen like it usually gets in the freezer)


Grind the nuts and cardamom (without skin) into a fine mixture. In another food processor/chopper, break down the slices of bread into fine bread crumbs (they'll be soft though not crispy bread crumbs obviously). In a blender, mix the bread with the nuts mixture, add the evaporated milk, cool whip, condensed milk and blend blend blend. Add rose water and blend some more. Pour into trays and freeze for 6 hours or preferably, overnight

DELISH


BTW, everyone loved it including myself but I thought it was slightly too sweet. I was thinking next time I'll add 7 oz of unsweetened condensed milk and 7 oz of sweetened, just to go easy on the sweetness.

  1. I use the same recipe! Except I use two slices of white bread and half a can of sweetened condensed milk, and some coconut too. And I use ground almonds and pistachios, some in the blender, and some to sprinkle on top. :) Turns out awesome.
