Sugar-free Mango Kulfi - Healthy Indian style ice-cream to beat the heat! #Recipe


Scorching heat, skin burning sunlight and a season of mangoes to relish - Can I want mango ice-creams more anytime than now?

Summer season is one of the most cherished ones when it comes to fruits available in the market. The season which brings mangoes, java plums, water apples, lychees and so many delightful fruits at our doorstep! And with the rising temperatures there is always that desire to munch on some heavenly ice-creams to beat the heat.
My family specially loves to binge on ice-creams for the desserts after dinner. So instead of opting for the sugar-laden creamy ice-creams from the stores – I try to whip up some fresh fruit ice-creams that are sugar free and yet delicious. Healthy and yum!

Ice-creams have been my favourites for the summers and you must have known this by now watching the ice-cream and desserts feed that I have created this summer. But the winner in this race is always the home made kulfis (very Indian at heart!). They are creamy, have mild flavours and definitely gorged on in no time.

This mango kulfi is about putting in honey as the source of sweetness with a variety of flavourants like Elaichi, Tulsi leaves and khoya. The added Nutella is just a topping to give the mango kulfi a twist for someone who loves to mix them up and doesn’t mind sugar! Otherwise the ice-cream is total sugar-free!

Check the recipe and I hope you like it as much as I do!

Ingredients:

1 ltr Amul Milk
2 tbsps honey
4-5 tulsi leaves (fresh & torn)
1 sachet stevia
2 Elaichi (crushed)
50 grams Khoya (grated)
1 Mango (diced)


Method:

1. In a large pan heat the milk and boil it until it reduces down to 40%. So I am taking 1 lts milk and boiled it until it was almost 400ml. Keep occasional stir.

2. While the milk is still on heat tear tulsi leaves into pieces and add it to the milk. Add in elaichi, honey, khoya and honey too.

3. Let the flavors mix well and the thickness be of the desired creaminess. I suggest getting just 300ml of milk in the end.

4. Take the milk off the flame and let it cool completely.

5. Put the milk mix into the moulds till they are 70% filled. Now add the diced mangoes in the moulds to fill it up till 100%.

6. Put the moulds into the freezer overnight or at least for 6 hours. Be sure to put in the ice-cream sticks after 2 hours to make it a kulfi. I don’t like to put those sticks and rather chop the kulfi into slices later.


The Sweetness of honey & stevia makes the ice-cream perfectly sweet and the additional sweetness is added by the mango’s natural sugar. Subtle and great for summers – this is a healthy variant to your regular ice-creams.

*Please note that Nutella hazelnut spread contains Sugar in very high amounts. My recipe does not contain nutella but has been topped with nutella to give it a flavor for the ones who don’t mind binging on sugar products.
