It is a delicious preparation for the summer prepared by thickening milk and adding flavors to it. The main challenge here is to freeze the kulfi in the freezer as with the increase in the content of sugar it becomes very soft and difficult to freeze. You can add fruits syrups or even chocolate to make different varieties. It is absolutely simple and yummy preparation, especially on a hot summer afternoon.
The word Kulfi comes from the Persian word, meaning covered cup. This dessert is said to have originated during the Mughal empire. During our childhood, there were ice cream carts on wheels delivering kulfis with a wooden stick at your home. What nostalgia!

You can use any mold Lisa, a little bigger chocolate molds, popsickle molds etc.
