Mango Kulfi (Deluxe)¶
Mango Kulfi is a rich and creamy frozen dessert that combines the tropical sweetness of mangoes with the smooth, velvety texture of coconut milk and a hint of fragrant cardamom.
This dairy-free twist on the traditional Indian treat is both refreshing and indulgent, making it a perfect way to cool down on hot days or end a meal with something exotic yet comforting.
Older version processed on Sorbet, then a scrape-down and a mix-in run.
Rating: 😋🥥🥭 (needs improvement)
In September 2025 I rewrote this to use the new sweetener and stabilizer blends, coconut milk powder for convenience, and a bit of WMS for an extra creaminess boost.
