Kulfi Indian Ice Cream

  1. In a heavy-bottomed, 4-quart / 4-L stockpot (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat, combine the milk and the cardamom pods.
  2. Bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for 2 hours.
  4. Repeated stirring is very important, or it will stick to the bottom of the pot.
  5. If a light film or skin forms on the milk, collect it with a slotted spoon and discard it or stir it back into the mixture.
  6. After the cooking time is complete, the reduced mixture will yield about 3 cups / 710 mL I find cooking milk to be tricky, as it can burn easily.
  7. Keep the heat very low and stir often and well.
  8. Add the sugar to the stockpot, stir well, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the sugar dissolves into the milk.
  9. I find that regular granulated sugar works best; no need to grind it to superfine.
  10. Remove from the heat.
  11. Pour the mixture through a fine strainer into a freezer-safe container with a very tight seal.
  12. Add the almonds and 1 tablespoon of the pistachios.
  13. Place in the freezer to chill for 40 minutes and also place kulfi or Popsicle molds in the freezer to chill.
  14. Remove the kulfi from the freezer and mash it with a fork to break up any ice crystals that have formed.
  15. Return to the freezer for 20 minutes.
  16. Repeat Step 5 at 20-minute intervals until the kulfi has stiffened.
  17. At that point, transfer it into the chilled molds and freeze for at least 3 to 4 hours, until it has hardened completely.
  18. Remove the molds from the freezer and transfer each kulfi to a dessert plate.
  19. Garnish each with the remaining pistachios and serve immediately.
  20. You may need to run the molds under hot water for a moment to release the kulfi
