Kulfi () is a frozen dairy dessert from the Indian subcontinent. It is often described as "traditional Indian ice cream". Kulfi originated in 16th-century Delhi during the Mughal era.
Kulfi is denser and creamier than regular ice cream. It comes in various flavours. Traditional ones include almond, cardamom (elaichi), mango, pistachio, and saffron. Unlike ice cream, kulfi is not churned while it is frozen, resulting in a denser final product which is considered a distinct category of frozen dairy-based dessert. The density of kulfi causes it to melt more slowly than ice cream.
