Who Knew Kulfi Could Be Style(.com)ish?
Saffron-flavored kulfi from Kool Freeze.

Saffron-flavored kulfi from Kool Freeze.
I’m probably going to get in trouble for saying this, and my authentic “desi-ness” is likely going to be questioned here, but I don’t like kulfi. I never have. I don’t know, something about it is too salty-milky-not-in-a-good-way to me. And kulfi doesn’t come in chocolate. Give me some [1] Stroh’s Bumpy Cake and Cream ice cream (a disappearing favorite) over pistachio kulfi or faluda any day.
Still, I was amused to see [2] Kool Freeze’s Kulfi Bars featured as [3] Style.com’s Item of the Week. The Canadian company describes its feature product as a “deliciously rich and creamy … exotic frozen dessert that has its origins in southern Asia” and explains that the Mughal emperors introduced kulfi to the subcontinent. I guess they’re carrying on the tradition and introducing it to the West? And I may have to try this one myself—the Kool Freeze bars come in [4] eight flavors, including mango, saffron and strawberry. Is anyone else with me?
