Radical RHUBARB Kulfi (V)

THE RECIPE

Alright, so it's rhubarb again, but this time I have used it as a dessert ingredient. I just have such an abundance of rhubarb in the garden at the moment, I feel I must use it. It often gets over looked. Kulfi is a popular frozen dairy dessert from India. Often known as "Indian ice cream", similarities in appearance and taste; however it is denser and creamier. Due to its density, kulfi takes a longer time to melt than traditional ice-cream. This is simple to make, and a great alternative to ice-cream if you don't have an ice-cream maker.


INGREDIENTS:

250g Rhubarb
250ml Evaporated milk
250ml Condensed milk
250ml Double cream
4 Cardamom pods, crushed slightly
2cm Piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely sliced
1 Orange
30g caster sugar
Mint to garnish (optional)

Serves 6
