Saffron Kulfi


Serves: 8 Persons
Ingredients:
• 1 1/2qt Whole milk • 1/3cup Sugar • 63/1000tsp Powdered Saffron or • 1/8tsp Saffron threads • 1tbl Boiling water • 8x Paper cups or • Cooking parchment or • Waxed paper • 8 x Ice cream sticks (optional)


Preparation :
· In a 6-8 quart pan over high heat, stir milk and sugar until simmering.·
Over medium-high heat, boil until reduced to 2 cups, 25-35 minutes, stirring often;
slide pan partially off heat if milk threaten to boil over.·
Let cool; to speed cooling, set pan in ice water.·
Place Saffron in a small bowl.
Add boiling water, stir, and let stand for 5 minutes.
Break up threads with a small spoon.
Scrape mixture into warm reduced milk mixture.·
Set paper cups in a rimmed pan. Or, to make cones, cut 8 pieces of parchment or waxed paper into 7-1/2" squares.
Fold each piece in half to make a triangle.
With long edge toward you, bring 1 of the 45' angles to the top of the triangle, then roll toward other angle.
To close hole at bottom, starting from the top, press 1 inside sheet to the opposite side.·
Tape the cone in a few places to hold it together.
Support each cone, pointed end down, in a cup slightly taller than the cone; set cups in a rimmed pan.·
Divide milk mixture among cups or cones.
Freeze until kulfi is thick but not hard, 1 to 1-1/2 hours; then, if desired, push an ice cream stick into each container.
Freeze until firm, about 2 hours longer.
To eat, peel off paper.
To store, seal kulfi (still in cups or cones) in a large plastic bag; freeze for up to 2 weeks.
