Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Pour the evaporated milk into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the cornflour and sugar, reduce the heat to low, and whisk continuously until smooth. Continue to heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly.

  2. Step 2.

    While the milk mixture is heating, split the cardamom pods by pressing down on them with the back of a knife. Scrape out the seeds, crush them with the back of the knife, then finely chop them. Add the crushed cardamom seeds, sliced pistachios, and double cream to the thickened milk mixture and stir well to combine.

  3. Step 3.

    Pour the mixture into a small plastic container with a lid, or divide among four small moulds lined with clingfilm. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. Remove from the freezer about 20 minutes before serving to allow the kulfi to soften slightly. Serve topped with extra sliced pistachios.
