Chocolate Kulfi
Chocolate Kulfi recipe made with whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder and chocolate chips. This easy and creamy kulfi is basically a chocolate version of the popular indian dessert - kulfi (indian ice cream).
Ingredients
- 3 cup whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream optional, substitute with milk
- ⅓ cup milk powder
- ⅓ cup condensed milk adjust to taste
- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
- Rinse a large pot or kadai with water. Without wiping, add milk, heavy cream and milk powder. Mix together until no lump remains.
- Set to boil on a medium high stove. Once the milk is boiling, reduce heat to low and let cook down with constant stirring. Check and stir every now and then so that the milk does not stick to the bottom or sides of the pot.
- Keep on scraping the side of the pot and mixing back with milk. Depending on fat/water content of the milk it could take 20-30 minutes for the milk to reduce to half of its volume.
- Once thickened, remove from stove.Immediately, add condensed milk, cocoa powder, chocolate chips and orange zest. Dont cook after adding chocolate.
- Stir until the chocolate has melted and everything is mixed well. Its okay if some bits of chocolate remain but make sure that there are no lumps of cocoa powder.
- Once the kulfi base has cooled, pour the mixture into kulfi moulds (or you can use paper cups or shot glasses or freezer safe ramekins (dessert bowls). Cover with lids or aluminum foil. Let freeze for 8 to 10 hours.
- Unmould the kulfi by dipping the mould in water or by running a butter knife all along the sides. If you set it in bowls or ramekins, you can serve it as it is. Note:- If you want to make kulfi on sticks, after the kulfi is in the freezer for 3 hours, insert a wooden or candy stick in the semi frozen base before it hardens.
Notes
- Always use a wide, large and heavy pot or kadai for reducing the milk. Not only it quickens the process of thickening milk, it is also easy to stir.
- Stir the milk regularly to make sure that it does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Reduce the milk on low flame to avoid it from burning.
- Reduce the quantity of cocoa powder if you want less chocolatey flavor.
- You can use grated khoya instead of milk powder. Use same quantity of khoya as milk powder.
- If you wish, you can mix some finely chopped nuts (like peanuts or cashews) with the kulfi base. You can use shredded coconut in the base as well.
- Delicious Variation - Mix in a couple spoonfuls of peanut butter or nutella in the kulfi base. Too delicious!
- If you don't have milk powder or khoya, simply skip it. Reduce milk low and slow for the most amazing kulfi.
