I have never had Kulfi, or even heard of it for that matter, but when I read the recipe it sounded so refreshing I had to try it. I read some of the comments and it did fill the entire blender so I needed to slowly add the whip topping in batches while pulsing, but a couple of extra minutes and some patience was greatly rewarded. This recipe is extremely easy to follow and produces the creamiest and smoothest ice cream I have ever had. I did need to substitute cinnamon for cardamon but I don't think it lost anything. Thanks for the great recipe we now have a new summer staple.

I like trying new recipes, so I gave this one a shot. It was easy to make, but had to hand stir in the most of the whipped topping because it was too much for my blender ( holds 7 cups). I have never used cardamon and was shocked at the price, luckily the store sells it in bulk so I could buy only the amount needed. As for the taste, it was very light, but I had a hard time getting past the grainy texture, I assume is from the bread. Not sure if I will be making this again, but if I do I will make a few changes and play with it a bit. Maybe cocoa or espresso powder in place of the cardamon and omit the bread.

Just okay. I found that the bread gave it a weird texture. To me it tasted like bread dipped in sweetened condensed milk.

We were having a Indian themed dinner at our house so I decided to make this for dessert. It worked really well to use one can of evaporated milk, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and 1 (8 oz) container cool whip. I also added 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon along with the cardamom. Everyone loved it! It tasted like chai tea in ice cream form.

Fast and easy, though I have a feeling this isn't how they make it in India...

Tastes like authentic kulfi. My Indian bf was in awe that it tasted like authentic kulfi and wanted me to make it for his mom when they next visit from India. I wanted to try different flavors, so I divided the given recipe (including the cardamom) into different sections and tried the following flavors: cinnamon, rose (via rose water, which was the best flavor), pineapple (pineapple juice), and extra cardamon. They were all wonderful. I also used wheat bread as I didn't have white bread on hand, and it didn't make any difference. I also used 1/2 light whipped topping and 1/2 normal. My favorite flavors were the cinnamon and rose, although they were all delicious. I put each in portion sized little tupperwares with lids, making for an easy, anytime snack-sized dessert.

very good, very easy. i followed the tips that one person put in to boil the evap, sweet, and 8 oz cool whip. then blended bread with 8 oz milk. blended all together, poured in a pan, sprinkled in almonds and cardamom on top. i was very skeptical of blended bread, but tried it anyway, and everyone loved it!!!!!
