Rose Kulfi Recipe – Sharmis Passion

Gulab Kulfi is a rich dessert made by boiling milk and adding rose flavor to it. It is made by slowly reducing milk to a creamy thick consistency and then pouring it into molds and freezing until solid. It has a mild sweet taste as well as a soft floral rose flavor. The light pink color also makes it very beautiful and attractive to serve.

This pink kulfi is a perfect dessert for summer days and also after a heavy meal at home. It is very easy to make and does not require much material at home. I usually make this during weekends when we want something sweet after lunch and it works well. It is a good gift for family and everyone enjoys it happily. This is a good dessert to serve to guests at small gatherings or special occasions.

About Rose Kulfi

Gulab Kulfi is a frozen dessert made using milk, nuts and rose flavour. The milk is slowly boiled until it thickens, reduces and then is flavored and frozen. This is a very simple recipe and tastes rich even without adding cream. This kulfi is usually made in the summer season and tastes cool.

This kulfi has a creamier texture than normal ice cream and also holds its shape well. It has smooth pieces and sometimes small pieces of dry fruits and gives a nice crunch when eaten. The rose flavor is mild and pleasant and not too strong so the taste is balanced. It is very refreshing and comforting to eat when served cold.

There are a few variations to this recipe that you can try and change based on your preference. You can add condensed milk or khoya to make it more dense and thick and it gives a better texture. You can also adjust the amount of rose essence depending on your preference and it works fine. Some people also use rose syrup instead of essence and this provides both color and taste.

I make it at home during summer season because it is made without much effort. It does not require much effort and still gives good results. I like to garnish it with chopped pistachios while serving and it also looks nice.

Gulab Kulfi Ingredients

• Milk – Milk is the base ingredient of this kulfi and it gives the creamy texture to the dessert.
• Sugar Sugar is added to Kulfi only for sweetness and to balance the taste.
• Almond – Almonds add richness and slight crunch to the kulfi and it tastes good.
• pistachio – Pistachios give nice color and it also adds texture to the kulfi. I use some for grinding into the mixture and some for garnishing.
• Cardamom – Cardamom adds mild flavor and aroma and it enhances the overall taste. Use only a little so it doesn’t overpower the rose flavor.
• rose essence – Rose essence is the main flavor that gives rose flavor.
