Kulfi Recipe – Pakistani Special
Kulfi is a dense, creamy, and indulgent frozen dessert that has been enjoyed in India for centuries. Unlike regular ice cream, kulfi is slow-cooked to concentrate milk flavors, giving it a rich texture and deep taste. Infused with cardamom and garnished with nuts, kulfi is the ultimate traditional Indian sweet treat.
Perfect for hot summer days, festivals, and celebrations, kulfi delivers nostalgia in every bite.
