Almond Kulfi - cooking recipe

Ingredients

110 g ground almonds (4 oz)
1 tablespoon sliced almonds
8 whole blanched almonds
1 (410 g) can evaporated milk (14 oz)
4 tablespoons superfine sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
grated chocolate (to garnish) (optional)

Preparation

Whisk the evaporated milk, sugar and vanilla extract (or brandy) for 1 minute; add the ground almonds and whisk for a further minute; stir in the flaked almonds.
Pour the kulfi mixture into an 850ml (1 1/2 pint) plastic freezer container and freeze overnight (or for a minimum of 4 hours).
Half an hour before serving, remove the container from the freezer and place in the fridge to soften slightly.
Cut the kulfi into slices and garnish each portion with a whole blanched almond; sprinkle with grated chocolate, if using.
