About Strawberry Kulfi

Strawberry Kulfi is a variation of traditional Kulfi with fruit flavors added to it. Kulfi is a popular Indian frozen dessert made by reducing milk and freezing it slowly. Strawberry puree is added in this recipe and it gives a fruity taste to the kulfi. It is easy to make at home and does not require much time and effort.

The texture of this kulfi is creamier and denser than ice cream. It has the rich flavor of milk and the slight tart sweetness of strawberry. When properly frozen, it gives a mild taste and does not contain many ice particles. It feels more filling and filling when eaten.

There are some variations you can try in this recipe and you can change based on your preference. You can add chopped strawberries for texture and it gives great little bites. You can adjust the sugar depending on the required taste and sweetness. You can also leave out the essence if you want the natural flavor so this recipe can be adjusted well. Some people also add dry fruits for crunch.

I make this kulfi when strawberries are available fresh in season. It is simple and does not require much effort in the kitchen and for best results and texture freeze it overnight.

Strawberry Kulfi Ingredients

• Milk – Milk has been used as the base for this kulfi and it gives the creamy texture and richness. For better results and taste you can use full cream milk.

How to make Strawberry Kulfi step by step

1. Take milk in a saucepan, boil it and cook on low flame for 5 minutes. Keep aside to cool.

2.Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the leaves and the core. I saw this technique of using a straw to remove the middle part, so gave it a try.

3. When the milk boils, add condensed milk into it. Add water to the cornflour and mix well without any lumps.

4. Mix cornflour mixture with sugar in it. Keep cooking.

5. Once it starts thickening a bit and coats the ladle, turn it off and keep it aside to cool. -Take straw berries in a mixer jar and make its puree.

6. Refrigerate the milk for at least 30 minutes, then add the strawberry puree and mix well.

7.Now add strawberry essence and mix.

8. Then pour it into kulfi molds / popsicle molds… I used my kulfi shaped popsicle molds. Wrap in silver foil, add ice cream sticks and freeze for at least 6-8 hours, I always freeze it overnight. Then expose the mold under running tap water. Slowly remove the kulfi and serve.

Serve immediately.

Expert Tips

• cooling milk – I usually cool the milk completely before adding the puree and this is important. Hot milk may curdle so avoid mixing hot milk.
• state of thickening – I cook until it coats the ladle and becomes a little thick. Do not make it too thick as it may affect the texture.
• Strawberry Puree – I blend the strawberries smooth and it mixes well with the milk. You can keep it a little thicker if you like the texture.
• cooling time – For best texture and proper setting I freeze overnight. May not set well in short time and may become soft.
• I am making kulfi – I run the mold under water for a few seconds and it helps in easy removal without breaking.

serving and storage

Strawberry Kulfi tastes best when served chilled straight from the mould. It tastes good after meals or as a dessert at home during summer days. Keep the remaining kulfi in the freezer and use it within a few days for better taste. Keep it covered so that it does not absorb odors coming from the freezer.
