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.

Current version processed on Sorbet, then a scrape-down and a respin.

Rating: 😋🥥🥭🥭 (I think I do not like mango too much, but it’s creamy all right)
