Method

  • step 1

    Squeeze the condensed milk into a bowl and beat in the rosewater and pistachios. Lightly whip the cream until it holds its shape, then fold into the pistachio mixture.

  • step 2

    Pour into 6 small ramekins or pyramid moulds. Freeze, then cover with cling film.

  • step 3

    To serve: Slice each mango on either side of the stone to make 6 halves, but don’t peel. Score a criss-cross into the flesh, but don’t slice through the skin. You can do this several hrs ahead. Cook on the barbecue flesh-side down until starting to caramelise. Leave as it is or turn inside out to make the segments stand proud. Serve with the kulfi scattered with the pistachios (and a squeeze of lime, if you like).

RECIPE TIPS
KNOW-HOW

Rosewater is made by distilling rose petals – boiling them gently in water and condensing the steam. It’s a common flavouring in the Middle East, Turkey and India and as well as giving Turkish delight its distinctive taste it is also used to flavour syrups, creamy desserts and as a dressing for fruits and cakes. Add to water when you’re poaching peaches or to a sugar syrup to stir through a summery fruit salad.

Despite being uncertain at first I thought I would give this recipe a go, being wary not to make it too sweet or too rosy. I dabbled with quantities using half a can of condensed milk, 1.5 teaspoons of rosewater and keeping the same amount of cream and pistachios. It was very quick to combine…

Despite being uncertain at first, with previous complaints of the recipe being too sweet or too rosy, I've actually been very pleasantly surprised! I dabbled with quantities, using half a can (200g) of condensed milk, 1.5 teaspoons of rosewater and the amount of pistachios and cream as stated in the…

Love this recipe! Used pomegranate seeds and crushed pecans as well as pistachios for more colour and texture, and to counter the sweetness. Only takes five minutes to make and about three hours to completely freeze. I lined a six-hole muffin tin with plastic wrap and froze the mixture in that, so…

I really wish I had read the reviews before making this. There is far too much rosewater, and the effect is very unpleasant indeed. The whole dessert had a flavour of soap and an unpleasant texture, and I am having to start from scratch with a different recipe entirely.
