Cardamom Kulfi Pops Recipe

1 1/2 qt Whole milk

1/3 c Sugar

3/4 ts Ground cardamom

8 Paper cups

-OR Cooking parchment -OR Waxed paper 8 Ice cream sticks (opt)

In a 6-8 quart pan over high heat, stir milk, sugar, and cardamom until simmering. Over medium-high heat, boil until reduced to 2 cups, 25-35 minutes, stirring often; slide pan partially off heat if milk threaten to boil over. Let cool; to speed cooling, set pan in ice water. Set paper cups in a rimmed pan. Or, to make cones, cut 8 pieces of parchment or waxed paper into 7-1/2 squares. Fold each piece in half to make a triangle. With long edge toward you, bring 1 of the 45 angles to the top of the triangle, then roll toward other angle. To close hole at bottom, starting from the top, press 1 inside sheet to tyhe opposite side. Tape the cone in a few places to hold it together. Support each cone, pointed end down, in a cup slightly taller than the cone; set cups in a rimmed pan. Divide milk mixture among cups or cones. Freeze until kulfi is thick but not hard, 1 to 1-1/2 hours; then, if desired, push an ice cream stick into each container. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours longer. To eat, peel off paper. To store, seal kjulfi (still in cups or cones) in a parge plastic bag; freeze for up to 2 weeks.
