Malai Kulfi-Style Frozen Dessert, Low-Calorie
A lightened take on classic malai kulfi, built on reduced skim and evaporated milk thickened with a touch of cornstarch instead of hours of simmering cream, then finished with condensed milk, saffron, cardamom and pistachio. A spoonful of Greek yogurt adds a gentle tang and a little extra protein without needing a churn.

Instructions
1
Whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold skim milk to make a smooth slurry and set aside.
2
Pour the remaining skim milk and evaporated milk into a heavy pan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring often.
3
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
4
Remove from heat and whisk in the condensed milk, saffron-infused milk, ground cardamom and crushed pistachio until fully combined.
5
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then whisk in the greek yogurt until smooth and fully incorporated.
6
Pour into two kulfi moulds or small freezer-safe tubs, leaving a little headroom, and cover.
7
Freeze for at least 6 hours or until fully set and firm.
8
Dip moulds briefly in warm water to release, or scoop directly from the tub, and top each serving with chopped pistachio before serving.
