Coconut Pistachio Kulfi Popsicleice Pop Recipes

COCONUT PISTACHIO KULFI POPSICLE/ICE POP

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the whole milk and cinnamon stick to a boil.
• Simmer over low heat, stirring often to prevent scorching, for about 45 minutes or until the milk has reduced by half.
• Remove the stick and add the coconut cream, simmering and stirring for a few minutes over low heat.
• Mix in the condensed milk, cardamom, coconut, vanilla and pistachios.
• Cool; pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze.

CREAMY PISTACHIO POPS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the evaporated milk to a simmer until small bubbles form around the circumference of the pot.
• Meanwhile, snip the tops of the tea bags and add to the evaporated milk. Whisk in the cardamom. Once the milk is simmering, turn the heat off, cover and let sit and steep for 30 minutes.
• Strain the evaporated milk into a large bowl. Whisk in the condensed milk, heavy cream and pistachios. Pour the mixture into ice pop molds, small bowls or a large bowl. Cover the bowls with a piece of plastic wrap to avoid freezer burn and the formation of a "skin." Pop them into the freezer and freeze overnight.
• When you're ready to serve, run the ice pop mold under hot water to loosen it. You can do the same thing for the smaller bowls if you'd like to serve it as a little kulfi half dome. Garnish with more nuts if you like and serve.

PISTACHIO & ROSE WATER KULFI

Steps:

• Pulse the pistachios and sugar in a mixer until fine - be careful not to overmix or the pistachios will become oily. Mix the cornflour with 1 tbsp of the whole milk to make a smooth paste.
• Pour the remaining milk and the evaporated milk into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the pistachio powder, rose water and cornflour paste, and simmer for 5 mins until the mixture has thickened and coats the back of a spoon (it will continue to thicken as it cools).
• Pour into a bowl and cover the surface with cling film so a skin doesn't form. Leave to cool, then chill in the fridge until cold before churning in your ice cream machine following the manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have an ice cream machine, transfer to a freezer- proof container, pop in the freezer for 4 hrs or until frozen and stir every hour to break up any ice crystals.
• Take out of the freezer 20 mins before slicing or scooping to serve. Sprinkle with crushed pistachios and scatter over the cherries or berries.
