During summer, my family just has ice creams, sorbets, sherbats and kulfis on their mind. I cannot blame them because the heat is so scorching that even I feel like eating something chilled and feel cool. So, every summer, I make sure to prepare either Mango Ice Cream or Kesar Mango Kulfi and store it in the freezer. Kesar Mango Kulfi comes in very handy for those daily sweet cravings during summer, plus if suddenly you find guests coming over then they can be served Kesar Mango Kulfi as well. Kulfi is an Indian version of ice cream which has a shape like a cone. It is a creamy dessert and denser than usual ice cream, so it doesn’t easily melt. Also, these days many flavors of Kulfi like chocolate, sitafal, apple et al are available. However, for summer Kesar Mango Kulfi is the best. Made using mango puree, condensed milk, kesar, and full cream milk, Kesar Mango Kulfi is a delight for the taste buds.
Do try this yummy dessert this Summer as the process of making Kesar Mango Kulfi is quite easy and sorted. Also, you can garnish Kesar Mango Kulfi with all the dry fruits that you like while serving. I add shredded almond, pistachios, cashews to give this creamy dessert a royal crunch. As the flavors of kesar, mango, and dry fruits blend along well, Kesar Mango Kulfi just happens to steal our hearts.
