Ingredients
- 5 ripe chikoo (sapota/chiku)
- ½ litre milk
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla custard powder
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
- 3 tablespoons chopped cashews
Method
Step 1: Prepare the Custard Milk Base
- To begin, take 5 ripe and soft chikoo. The riper the chikoo, the creamier and naturally sweeter your ice cream will turn out.
In a bowl, pour ½ litre milk and add 1 tablespoon vanilla-flavored custard powder.
- Mix it thoroughly until the custard powder dissolves completely. Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture, as a smooth custard base is the secret to achieving a perfectly creamy ice cream texture.
- Once the custard is fully blended into the milk, transfer the mixture to a pan.
Turn on the heat and cook it over a medium flame.
- Keep stirring continuously while cooking. Since custard powder has been added, the milk can stick to the bottom of the pan if left unattended. Constant stirring also helps create a silky and smooth consistency.
- As the mixture cooks, you’ll notice the milk gradually becoming thicker and creamier, while the kitchen fills with an irresistible aroma.
Now add ¼ cup sugar and continue cooking until the mixture comes to 2–3 gentle boils. This step enhances the richness and gives the kulfi a luxurious creamy texture.
- Once the mixture becomes perfectly thick and creamy, switch off the flame and allow it to cool completely.
Step 2: Prepare the Chikoo
- Now comes the star ingredient — the delicious and juicy Chikoo! Peel 1 chikoo, remove the seeds, and cut it into small bite-sized pieces
- These tiny chikoo chunks will add delightful fruity bites to the ice cream, making every spoonful extra delicious..
Next, roughly chop the remaining 4 chikoo and add them to a blender jar.
- Pour in the cooled custard milk mixture and add a pinch of cardamom powder, which gives the dessert a wonderfully rich and royal flavor.
- Blend everything together until smooth and creamy.And there you have it — a thick, luscious, and tempting chikoo mixture ready for freezing!
Step 3: Freeze the Ice Cream
- Transfer the prepared mixture into an airtight container or any container suitable for setting ice cream.
- Now sprinkle on top Chopped cashew cashews and Fresh chikoo pieces.. These little chikoo bites make the kulfi even more flavorful and enjoyable.
- Cover the container tightly with a lid or cling wrap and place it in the freezer for about 8–9 hours, or until fully set.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- After 8–9 hours…Wow! our super creamy, rich, and delicious Chiku Kulfi Ice Cream is perfectly set and ready to enjoy.
- Slice or scoop the kulfi into serving bowls. Garnish with a few more chopped cashews on top for an extra crunchy touch.
- Now enjoy this chilled, creamy, and refreshing homemade chikoo dessert with your family and friends.
