Kulfi is a traditional Indian ice-cream, made with milk, cream and lots of nuts. My grandma used to make gorgeous homemade pistachio kulfi, full of flavour and just the right amount of sweetness for me in bulk. Every time I came over, she used to place it in a bowl, and get ready to watch me gulp it down, knowing it would make my week. She spoiled me with her amazing cooking. 

I was craving it the other day and decided to call her up and ask how she made it. Here is a short, rose flavoured version that is easier to make. Don’t forget to tag me or send me your recreations if you make this. I would love to share!
