Kulfi - Queen of Summer Time Desserts

My very first dessert post! Kulfi, a cool sweet treat for hot Chicago summer. This kulfi tasted almost as good as the kulfi I'd eat in India during summer. You do need a lot of time and patience to make kulfi, but it is well worth it. I set the kulfi in Popsicle molds and so the kulfi even looks like the kulfi I’d eat from the kulfiwala in India.
