Rosewater & pistachio kulfi with griddled mangoes

Kulfi is usually made from milk that has been boiled for several hours. This sneaky version is made with condensed milk, so all the hard work has been done for you.

Method

  1. Squeeze the condensed milk into a bowl and beat in the rosewater and pistachios. Lightly whip the cream until it holds its shape, then fold into the pistachio mixture.
  2. Pour into 6 small ramekins or pyramid moulds. Freeze, then cover with cling film.
  3. To serve: Slice each mango on either side of the stone to make 6 halves, but don't peel. Score a criss-cross into the flesh, but don't slice through the skin. You can do this several hrs ahead. Cook on the barbecue flesh-side down until starting to caramelise. Leave as it is or turn inside out to make the segments stand proud. Serve with the kulfi scattered with the pistachios (and a squeeze of lime, if you like).

Know-how

Rosewater is made by distilling rose petals - boiling them gently in water and condensing the steam. It's a common flavouring in the Middle East, Turkey and India and as well as giving Turkish delight its distinctive taste it is also used to flavour syrups, creamy desserts and as a dressing for fruits and cakes. Add to water when you're poaching peaches or to a sugar syrup to stir through a summery fruit salad.

    Absolutely gorgeous. Was a winner with everyone even the children. Although my son who isn't a great lover of mango suggested doing it with bananas which I shall try next time.

    The recipe looks delicious. However, how do you serve the actual dessert? How do you keep the shape without melting the mound and without a 'frozen' texture?

    Very easy - takes a couple of hours to freeze. Delicious but very sweet so you don't need much of it!

    Food and had family visiting. Unfortunately it was overly sweet with a cloying and unpleasant texture due to the use of tinned condensed milk. Despite the time, effort and money spent on ingredients it was quite inedible. Yuck! I learned from this that the only way to make kulfi successfully, which I have done since, is to condense down your own milk. This is the proper way to make it. You cannot cut corners by using condensed milk, Sara Buenfield!!
