Ingredients:

4 - Slices of white bread with the brown sides removed
1 - 12 Fl Oz Can of Evaporated Milk (You can use light or fat free versions as well)
1 - 14 Oz Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk (You can use light or fat free versions as well)
1 - 16 Oz tub of Cool Whip (You can use light or fat free versions as well)
1 Tsp of Powdered Cardamom Powder.

Method:

1. Crumble the bread slices into fine powder. Usually what I do is, warm them slightly - not toast them or anything, color should not be changed. Just warm them and then powder them in the food processor.

2. In a big mixing bowl, add the thawed cool whip, condensed milk, evaporated milk and the bread crumbs and mix well with a hand held mixer/blender until everything is mixed well and you can see bubbles start forming. If you are in doubt, mix for a few more minutes.

3. Add the cardamom powder and mix it again.

4. Pour into trays or kulfi moulds or jello moulds - cover well and freeze.

5. It should be frozen for atleast 8 hours before you can eat it. So, you can do it the day before it is needed and freeze it.

6. The recipe I have given here is for Elaichi (Cardamom) Kulfi. You can make other versions by just adding different flavors  to it.

I have tried adding, almond paste (the ready made one that you get in the baking section of grocery stores), mango puree and pista paste (that I made by soaking pista and then grinding into a smooth paste with a little milk). Feel free to experiment with other flavours and let me know how it turned out.
