You can leave out the cardamom/chai flavouring if you’d prefer a plain ice cream, or use an earl grey tea bag for a different twist.
The kulfi will keep for up to a month in the freezer in a plastic lidded container but it’s best eaten within a week as the cardamom can intensify and become overpowering.
Kulfi is an Indian dessert made just like a no-churn ice cream. Traditional ice cream, made with a custard base, needs to be churned because the high water content creates crystals as the mix freezes. Churning breaks up these crystals to create a smooth un-icy ice cream. Using condensed and evaporated milk, which contain less water, means kulfi doesn’t need to be churned.
