Cardamom and Pistachio Kulfi
These egg-free pistachio flavored ice cream style popsicles get a bit of chew from added glucomann and a floral finish after being infused with cardamom. They are perfect for Diwali as is or feel free to garnish with crushed pistachios and edible gold or silver leaf. Inspired by the recipe here. These can easily be made dairy free as well. I like to use homemade cashew milk and cream but your favorite dairy-free alternative milk will work.
