Coburg Night Market Q&A: Kulfix Icecream

kulfix1-small.jpg

Ice cream’s nostalgic for a lot of people, what special place does it hold for you?

It holds special childhood memories of my mother and I making kulfi ice-cream as a treat during the sweltering summer days. We would prepare and mix all the ingredients together and I was given the important task of pouring the mixture into the ice-cube trays. My impatient brother and I would continuously check the freezer to see if it was ready. We would sit together and savour each refreshing mouthful and somehow always managed to devour the whole tray.

What is Kulfi?

Kulfi is a traditional Indian frozen dessert. It’s a blend of aromatic spices and nuts with a creamy and dense consistency. This unique dessert, once exclusively reserved for royalty, originated from Persia in the 1500s using ice brought down from the Himalayas to keep the Moghul royalty cool in the scorching summer months.

What makes Kulfix ice cream different?

We have created a fusion of kulfi flavours which includes the blend of spices and nuts with the creaminess of ice-cream to produce a subtly spiced delicacy.

Where do you source your ingredients from?

We source most of our ingredients locally wherever possible. Our mangoes are from Queensland and pistachios are from South Australia. We’re proud to use 100 per cent real fruit and nuts and no preservatives in our products. 

Cardamom is an interesting ingredient, how did you decide on it?

Cardamom is one of the key ingredients in our family recipe (pistachio and cardamom) and therefore was an obvious choice when deciding on our flavour combinations.   

What are you going to be offering at the Coburg Night Market?

We currently have three flavours of kulfi ice-cream: pistachio and cardamom, mango and cardamom and strawberry and cinnamon.

Have you got any other flavours in the works currently?

The Kulfix team has been experimenting with new flavour combinations and we hope to be introducing them in the near future.

KULFIX will be serving their special ice cream at the Coburg Night Market on Friday December 5 and 12 at Bridges Reserve, Coburg. Entry is free.
