Mango Kulfi / Easy and No Cook Indian Summer Frozen Treat

Kulfi is an Indian version of ice cream. The taste of kulfi is similar to ice cream but is more denser and creamier. A frozen desert originated in the 16th century Mughal Empire, the traditional recipe of kulfi is prepared by evaporating sweetened milk until it's volume reduced by half. Flavoured with pistachios and saffron, the sweetened milk is than frozen in kulfi moulds. 

The recipe that I am going to share today is not the traditional kulfi recipe but an easy and no cook kulfi recipe. 

For kulfi moulds you can use any ice pop moulds. But if you don't have ice pop moulds, you can use paper cups. So let's jump to the recipe now.
