  2. Add ½ cup finely ground almonds and whisk for another minute until thoroughly incorporated.
  3. Gently stir in ¼ cup flaked almonds.
  4. Pour the kulfi mixture into an 850ml (approximately 3-cup) plastic freezer-safe container.

  6. 30 minutes before serving, remove the kulfi from the freezer and transfer to the refrigerator to soften slightly.
