Kulfi & Its Variations !!

Kulfi is a popular frozen dairy dessert from the Indian Subcontinent. It is often described as "traditional Indian Subcontinent ice cream". As popularly understood, Kulfi has similarities to ice cream in appearance and taste; however it is denser and creamier.

Unlike ice creams, kulfi is not whipped, resulting in a solid, dense frozen dessert similar to traditional custard based ice cream. Thus, it is sometimes considered a distinct category of frozen dairy-based dessert. Due to its density, kulfi takes longer time to melt than ice-cream.
