Mango Kulfi with Nuts is a luscious, no-churn Indian frozen dessert that captures the essence of summer. It’s a creamy, dense twist on traditional kulfi—often called India’s answer to ice cream—infused with the vibrant sweetness of ripe mangoes and the satisfying crunch of mixed nuts.
I created a healthier version by incorporating high-protein ingredients like cashews, pistachios, cottage cheese, and paneer, while sweetening it naturally with monk fruit sweetener. The result? It tastes even better than classic kulfi—rich, indulgent, and satisfying—while delivering a generous boost of protein and avoiding any sugar spike

Ingredients

  • Ingredients

  • 1 cup  cashews (kaju)

  • ½ cup pistachios (pista)

  • 1 cup cottage cheese

  • 1/ 2 cup paneer

  • 1.5 cup mango chunks/ puree

  • 2 tsp Monk fruit sweetener

  • 1 tsp cardamom  powder

  • Few strands of saffron

  • 1.5  cup milk

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the cashews, pistachios and saffron. Pour  milk on top and keep in the fridge for overnight or 6-8 hours.
  • Add nuts mixture in a blender with mango, paneer and cottage cheese and blend until you get smooth and creamy paste.
  • Pour the mixture into kulfi moulds or ice cube trays or a small container and tap to remove any air bubble. 
  • Freeze for 8 hours or until firm.
  • Enjoy frozen or let it sit for a few minutes and serve as a soft creamy dessert

Notes

  • Optionally, add almonds.
    Adjust sweetness depending on your taste and mango ripening.
    For a richer texture, add little cream before blending.
