Nupur admits she started with a recipe from a book, but then her mind did this to it!
Walnut Cherry Kulfi
Toast a half cup of walnuts. When cool, break into small bits.
Pit and chop cherries to yield 3/4 cup. I used fresh, but frozen cherries could also be used.
In a large bowl, mix 1 can evaporated milk (low fat okay), 3/4 can sweetened condensed milk (low fat okay) and 1 cup heavy cream.
To this, add 1 teaspoon cardamom powder, half the walnuts and half the cherries. Blend together using an immersion/ regular blender. Stir in the remaining walnut bits and cherry pieces.
Freeze the kulfi mixture for several hours, until solid. You could freeze in a single container, individual moulds or popsicle moulds. I chose to make kulfi in small bowls for individual servings. This makes 12 or more servings.
