Ingredients 

To make a serving for 6 people, you need the following ingredients – 

• Warm full-fat milk – 1/4th cup 
• Cornflour – 1 tbsp 
• Full-fat milk – 4 cups 
• Sugar – 5 tbsp 
• Cardamom powder – 1/4th tbsp
• Best dry fruits and nuts (chopped cashew, pistachio, raisins, etc) – ½ cup 
• Saffron strands – few 

Do not worry about the preparation time, as this classic old-fashioned Indian dessert won't consume more than 50 minutes. So, now let us concentrate on how to prepare it!

Preparation Method 

Follow the step-by-step guide to make premium quality dry fruits and nuts kesar kulfi at home. 

Step 1

At first, we should allow the saffron to dissolve in the warm milk to add an excellent enriching colour to your final kulfi. Soak a few saffron strands in the warm milk in a small bowl. Mix it well and place it aside with a lid on top of it. 

Step 2 

In step 2, let us combine 1 tbsp of cornflour with 2 tbsp of water in a small bowl. Mix it well and place it aside from your soaked saffron. Close this bowl with a lid as well. 

Step 3 

Take a heavy-bottomed pan and pour 4 cups of full-fat milk into it. Now, take 5 tbsp of sugar and add it to the milk, mix well, and allow it to boil on a medium flame. Cook the milk and sugar solution for around 5 to 7 minutes. Make sure that you keep stirring this mixture occasionally. Proper mixing of the milk and sugar solution while cooking ensures that your final organic dry fruit kulfi is the best one. 

Step 4 

Now, take the bowl of cornflour-milk mixture and add it to your boiling sugar-milk solution. Mix it well to avoid lumps in your final premium quality dry fruit kesar kulfi. Now, you need to have patience for the next 30-32 minutes while cooking the entire mixture on a medium flame. Remember to keep stirring the mixture. This time, you also need to ensure that the sides of your pan are scraped so that the mixture does not stick and harden there. 

Step 5 

Next, allow this warm mixture to come down to room temperature. As soon as it is cooled, add 1/4 tbsp of cardamom powder, a mixture of saffron and milk, and dry fruits and nuts to it. Mix the entire mixture well again.

Step 6 

As the preparation is meant for 6 people, bring 6 kulfi moulds and pour the mixture into it. Please keep all 6 filled moulds in the freezer and leave them overnight. 

Step 7 

Next day, just before serving, allow all 6 moulds to remain outside at room temperature for 5 minutes. You can then use a fork or a wooden skewer stick to unmold your delicious organic dry fruit kulfi.

Step 8 

If you have guests at home or you want to make it more appealing to your kids, garnish it with the best dry fruits and nuts. Allow them to satiate their taste buds with the mouth-watering bhaiya-style homemade organic kulfi.
