Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 litre full-fat milk
  • 1 cup mango pulp
  • ½ cup condensed milk
  • ¼ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom powder
  • Chopped pistachios for garnish

Step 1: Reduce the Milk

Pour the milk into a heavy-bottomed pan and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring often, until the milk reduces to half. This takes about 25–30 minutes and gives kulfi its signature thick and creamy texture.

Step 2: Add the Sweetness

Mix in the condensed milk and sugar. Stir until fully dissolved and cook for another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool completely.
