Rosewater & Earl Grey Kulfi
This is a cool take on ice-cream.
Kulfi, pronounced ‘cool-fee’ is a frozen Indian dessert. It usually comes in the form of a long, wand-like lolly, and is the perfect pud after an Indian feast. Cooling, creamy, decadent, perfumed and pretty. It’s a proper little lady.
The good news? It’s easy as anything.
The better news? It tastes blooming delicious.
The bad news? There is no bad news. We’d even go as far to say we prefer it to ice-cream.
In a nod towards an English Rose Garden, we’ve opted for flavours of Rose and Earl Grey. Perfect eaten on the lawn on a cool summer’s evening.
A showstopper that guarantee’s you’ll come out smelling of roses!
