INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR MANGO STUFFED KULFI
These carefully selected ingredients work together harmoniously to create the delightful and indulgent mango stuffed kulfi, combining the fruity sweetness of mangoes with the creamy richness of the kulfi base.
FULL FAT MILK
Full-fat milk forms the base of the kulfi mixture, contributing to its creamy and luscious texture. The fat content in the milk provides richness and helps create a smooth and velvety consistency.
MILK POWDER
It is added to the kulfi mixture to further enhance the creaminess and thickness. It adds a concentrated milk flavour and helps achieve the desired consistency.
MANGOES
Choose ripe mangoes that are sweet, juicy, and aromatic. The variety of mangoes you select will greatly impact the flavour and texture of the mango filling. Popular varieties like Alphonso, Kesar mangoes work well due to their naturally rich and sweet taste.
SUGAR
Sugar is added to the mango filling to enhance the sweetness of the mangoes. The amount of sugar needed depends on the sweetness of the mangoes and personal preference. Adjust the sugar quantity accordingly.
CARDAMOM AND SAFFRON
Cardamom powder, derived from the seeds of green cardamom pods, adds a warm and aromatic flavour to the kulfi. It complements the sweetness of the mangoes and imparts a subtle hint of spice.
Saffron strands can be added for an elegant touch and to infuse the kulfi with a delicate floral aroma and a beautiful golden colour. It is entirely optional but adds a luxurious touch to the dessert.
TIPS FOR MANGO STUFFED KULFI
- Mango Selection: Choose ripe and fragrant mangoes for the best flavour in your mango filling. Varieties such as Alphonso, Kesar, or Ataulfo work well for this recipe.
- Mango Filling Variation: For an extra burst of flavour, you can add a teaspoon of mango essence or a pinch of ground cardamom to the mango filling. This will enhance the mango flavour and add a subtle hint of spice.
- Nut Variations: Feel free to experiment with different nuts for added texture and flavor. You can substitute or combine pistachios and almonds with cashews, walnuts, or even shredded coconut.
- Saffron Infusion: If you want to intensify the aroma and add a beautiful yellow hue to your kulfi, soak the saffron strands in a tablespoon of warm milk for a few minutes before adding them to the kulfi mixture.
- Serving Ideas: Serve the mango stuffed kulfi as is, or for an extra touch, you can garnish each kulfi with a sprinkle of finely chopped pistachios or slivered almonds. You can also serve it with a side of fresh mango slices or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
