Ingredients

Core Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1 tablespoon rose water
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
  • 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
  • 1/4 teaspoon saffron strands, soaked in 1 tablespoon warm milk
  • Fresh fruit slices for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine oats and almond milk: In a medium bowl, add 1 cup of rolled oats and pour in 1 cup of almond milk. Stir gently to mix the oats evenly with the milk.
  2. Add sweetened condensed milk: Stir in 1/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk to sweeten the mixture and provide a creamy texture.
  3. Incorporate cardamom and rose water: Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder and add 1 tablespoon of rose water to infuse authentic kulfi flavors into the oats.
  4. Add saffron infusion: Mix in 1/4 teaspoon of saffron strands that have been soaked in 1 tablespoon of warm milk to bring a delicate aroma and beautiful color.
  5. Mix in nuts: Fold 2 tablespoons each of chopped pistachios and almonds into the oats for added crunch and richness.
  6. Refrigerate overnight: Cover the bowl tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight, allowing the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  7. Stir before serving: Remove the oats from the fridge and give them a good stir to combine any separated ingredients.
  8. Top with fresh fruits: Garnish the oats with fresh fruit slices of your choice to add freshness and additional flavor.
  9. Serve chilled: Enjoy the kulfi-inspired overnight oats cold, as a refreshing and satisfying breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • Soaking saffron in warm milk enhances its flavor and color.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based or dairy milk of your preference.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sweetened condensed milk.
  • Use seasonal fresh fruits like mango, berries, or banana for the topping.
  • For a vegan version, replace sweetened condensed milk with a plant-based condensed milk alternative.
