Easy Kulfi

(From Banu's Cookbook)

Ingredients:
1 12 oz Can of Evaporated Milk
1 14 oz Can of Condensed Milk
1 8 oz Can of Cool Whip
3 Slices of White Bread
2-3 Tsp of Cardamom Powder
2-3 Tbsp of Mixed Nuts Coarsely powdered (Cashew nuts, Pistachios and Almonds)

Method:
1.  Thaw the Cool Whip or defrost it in the microwave.
2. Cut the brown edges of the bread and then powder the three slices of bread in a food processor. Food processor works better than blender to dry powder the bread slices.
3. In a big mixing bowl, add the evaporated milk, condensed milk, cool whip and bread powder/crumbs and mix well. I use a hand mixer for this. You have to beat/mix the mixture until you start seeing air bubbles. That is what indicates that it has all blended together. Also you should not be able to see the white cool whip. Everything should be mixed well together.
4. Now add the cardamom powder and mix again.
5. Pour this mixture into a glass pan or into individual molds or cups. Sprinkle the coarsely ground nuts on top of this and then freeze it overnight. Make sure that it is covered to avoid freezer burn.
6. I just pour into rectangular class pan with  lid and when ready to serve, I just cut it into pieces.

Notes:
1. I use fat free evaporated and condensed milk and also either lite, fat free or sugar free cool whip and it turns out the same.
2. I use Mrs.Bairds white sandwich bread. Bread is what provides the texture and binding. So do not skip the bread and the finer you can powder it, the better.
3. You can use Almond essence instead of cardamom powder or vanilla essence. You can even add Mango Puree to this to get different flavors of kulfi
