Stuffed Mango Kulfi – A Creamy Summer Treat!
If you’ve ever tasted the iconic mango kulfi from the streets of Old Delhi, this recipe is going to hit you right in the nostalgic feels. The best part? You can make it at home with just a few ingredients and a little bit of love!
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- 4 to 5 ripe mangoes (Dasheri or Alphonso work best)
- 500 ml full-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons milk powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh malai (cream)
- 4 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- Chopped pistachios – for that perfect garnish
Let’s Make It Happen:
1. Prep Those Mangoes
- Wash and dry the mangoes. Slice off the tops and save them — they’ll be the lids!
- Carefully remove the seeds using a small knife or spoon. Try not to break the mango skin.
- Set them in a glass or bowl to hold upright while you prep the filling.
2. Cook Up the Kulfi Mix
- In a heavy pan, warm the milk over medium heat.
- Mix the milk powder with a bit of warm milk to avoid lumps, then stir it into the pan.
- Add the malai and stir gently — don’t let it turn into ghee!
- Boil the mixture until it reduces by half and turns creamy and thick.
- Add sugar and stir for 2-3 more minutes. Let it cool completely.
3. Stuff the Mangoes
- Once the kulfi mix is cool, spoon it into the hollow mangoes — don’t fill to the brim!
- Cover each mango with its top lid.
- Stand them upright in a bowl or glass and freeze for 8–12 hours, or overnight.
4. Slice & Serve
- Before serving, let the mangoes sit outside the freezer for 3–4 minutes.
- Peel the skin gently using a sharp knife.
- Slice into thick, round pieces. The kulfi inside should be creamy and frozen perfectly!
- Garnish with pistachios and enjoy cold!
Pro Tip: Want easier slicing? Use a sharp knife and let the mango rest for a couple of minutes after taking it out of the freezer.
