Kulfi ice-cream

An Indian iced confection, kulfi is eaten as a snack or served as a dessert with a garnish of edible silver leaf. It is made without eggs or cream and gets its creamy texture from reduced milk that is then flavoured with nuts, spices or saffron. Traditionally, small silver or aluminium conical moulds with a lid or cap are used. In Harvest of the Cold Months, Elizabeth David
