Malai kulfi, almond and pistachio ice cream

Method

1. Put the milks and cream in a large pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring constantly (the mixture should be thickened and reduced). Stir in the cardamom and vanilla essence, then remove from the heat and cool completely.

2. Mix in the ground nuts and pour into 8 x 100ml moulds (or use empty yogurt pots). Freeze for 6-8 hours.

3. To serve, hold the moulds under warm water and turn out onto plates. Decorate with pistachios and mint.
