Kulfi

what you need

1 Can Evaporated Milk

1 Can Condensed Milk

1 8oz tub of Cool Whip

3 Slices of bread with crusts

Chopped/slivered pistachios (or almonds)

make it

BLEND

Blend together all the above ingredients and pour it in popsicle moulds. Refrigerate overnight.

That's it!

TIPS:

-I like using brown bread instead of white.

-I set my Kulfi in square plastic tupperware containers, about an inch thick. I get 2-3 of those depending on the size. If you are using plastic containers then do not fill them too deep. It gets really hard to slice kulfi.

-Serve it with ready made Falooda. I also use angel hair pasta instead of falooda and drizzle it with some Rooh Afza.

Akhroat (Walnut) Halwa

What you need

 1 1/2 Stick Butter (6 oz)

 1 1/4 Cups Sugar

 1 1/2 Cups Walnuts chopped

 1 1/2 Cups Whole Milk

 3 Cups Powdered Milk

Make it!



Mix all the above ingredients in a oven proof pot/pan.

Bake at 350 for one hour, stirring every 15 mins.

Halwa should be lighter in color than Habshi Halwa, medium brown.

Transfer immediately in your serving dish, decorate with slivered pistachios.

Tips:
I use my Pakistani heavy based pots to bake this Halwa.
Use a big baking pan because the milk boils.
Transfer immediately as soon as the halwa is done otherwise it will overcook and become chewy.

 

Recipe from:
My Cousin Shahnaz Aslam, who got it from our other cousin Anjum Wahaj.

 

Mix all ingredients

 

Half way cooked

Enjoy!
