What can I say about this dessert!!!!! Kulfi is Indian version of Ice cream (in fact more tastier and richer version of the same) and adding Mangoes to Kulfi is like the Diamond in the Diadem…For me Mango Kulfi is an ideal dessert to serve in a Summer Gathering... Mango Kulfi can be prepared in many ways… and the simplest way it to mix Mango Pulp with Kulfi mix…. However, I am sharing a bit twisted version of Mango Kulfi where I've set Kulfi within a Mango and here Mango is acting as the container as well! this is a heavenly Mango dessert...
Type, quantity etc. are based on your requirements, however other ingredients requires changes with the quantity of Mango); Ripped and preferably bigger ones like Himsagar, Alfonso, Safeda etc are better for this dish. I've used Safeda as I am not fortunate enough to get Himsagar here.
