Almond & Pistachio Ice Cream (Malai Kulfi)

Almond & Pistachio Ice Cream (Malai Kulfi)

A delicious icecream - the perfect cooling anecdote to your favourite spicy curry. This recipe uses my all time favourite spice - cardamom. It’s got that magical combination of taste and aroma, even thinking about it makes me hungry. The cardamom adds a spicy (almost warming) kick to this delicious dessert, and the wonderful combination of nuts, spice and vanilla really makes this icecream something different from your usual.
