Kulfi is a popular South Asian ice cream made with boiled milk. It comes in many flavours, including pistachio, malai, mango, cardamom (elaichi),apple, orange, peanut, avocado, and saffron (kesar). Kulfi differs from western ice cream in that it is richer in taste and creamier in texture. As well, where western ice creams are whipped with air or overrun, kulfi contains no air; it is a solid dense frozen milk.

It is made by boiling milk until it is reduced to half. Then sugar is added and the mixture is boiled for another ten minutes and a teaspoon of cornflour is added to it after making it into a paste using water. On adding the paste the mixture thickens and is boiled for some more time. Then flavourings, dried fruits, cardamom, etc. are added. The mixture is then cooled, put in moulds and frozen. One can eat kulfi plain as is or it can be garnished with ground cardamom, saffron, or pistachio nuts. Kulfi is also served with Falooda (vermicelli noodles).

The most famous Kulfi suppliers in the United Kingdom and Europe include 'Kulfi Ice' by company 'Tubzee LTD'.
