Total Time: 5 minutes + freezing time
Yield: 9 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups cold heavy whipping cream (720g)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (396g or 14oz)
- 3 King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (84g) – or use about 3 slices of any other white bread that is roughly the same weight in grams
- Optional: 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- Optional garnish: Chopped pistachios and crushed freeze dried strawberries
Instructions
- Add the cream, sweetened condensed milk, bread and cardamom powder (if using) to a blender. Blend for about 20-30 seconds in pulses, or until the bread has just incorporated. The mixture should still be liquidy. If you want a softer, more whipped texture similar to gelato, blend a bit longer in 5 second increments until the mixture becomes fluffy like whipped cream. Do not over blend. If adding any mix ins, fold in now
- Line a 9×9″ square pan with cling wrap. Pour the mixture in, and spread it out. Cover the pan with more cling wrap but don’t let it touch the mixture
- Freeze for ~6 hours, or until the kulfi is completely frozen
- When ready to serve, carefully pull the kulfi slab out of the pan using the cling wrap. Use a sharp knife to cut into slices, and serve. Garnish with chopped pistachios and crushed freeze dried strawberries if you want to add some color.
