Kulfi is a popular frozen dessert (like frozen custard) which is made of dairy products and sugar and filled with nutty goodness and flavored with cardamom and saffron. This is a rich dessert and perfect for summer times and parties. The coolest thing is you do not need an ice cream maker to make this dessert. All you need is pop sickle molds or aluminum molds which is prefect for making kulfis.
