Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener)
• 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 0.125 teaspoon Saffron strands
• 2 tablespoons Blanched almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Rose water (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a saucepan, combine heavy cream and unsweetened almond milk over medium heat and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 2

Add powdered erythritol, cardamom powder, and saffron strands to the mixture, stirring well to ensure the sweetener dissolves completely.

Step 3

Slowly sprinkle in the almond flour while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. This will help thicken the mixture naturally.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for about 15-20 minutes or until it reduces by roughly one-third and reaches a thickened, creamy consistency.

Step 5

Remove the mixture from heat and stir in rose water, if using, for an additional layer of floral aroma.

Step 6

Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then pour it evenly into kulfi molds or small cups.

Step 7

Cover the molds with foil and insert an ice cream stick into each mold. Freeze the kulfi for at least 6-8 hours, or until fully set.

Step 8

Once frozen, unmold the kulfi by running the molds under warm water for a few seconds. Garnish with chopped pistachios and serve immediately.
