Ice cream is perhaps my all-time favourite food, so naturally, I had to find a recipe for it using only what limited equipment I own. Trouble is, it’s difficult to get a smooth, creamy result without using a fancy ice cream machine. I went through a lot of painstaking trial and error so you don’t have to. You’re welcome. The outcome was this: a fragrant and delicious kulfi (that definitely shouldn’t be made when on a diet). Deceptively easy to make and using only a few ingredients, homemade no-churn ice cream doesn’t get much better than this.
Ingredients
- 300ml double cream
- 100g condensed milk
- 7-10 strands of saffron
- 4 cardamom pods
Method
- Pour the double cream into the pot and to it the saffron and cardamom pods. Heat gently until the cream is hot, stirring continuously.
- Leave the cream to cool to room temperature. Once cool, strain out the saffron and cardamom pods.
- Using an electric whisk, beat the cream for about five minutes. (Make sure you don’t whip until it forms peaks – we want the cream to stay quite liquid and runny.)

- Slowly pour in the condensed milk, while whisking continuously, until it is all incorporated.
- Pour the mix into popsicle moulds, leaving a few millimetres’ space from the top. Freeze overnight.
- Before removing the kulfi from the mould, run under warm water for 10-15 seconds to loosen it. Serve immediately.
