   In a large heavy-bottomed pan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

   Dissolve the cornstarch in a tablespoon of cold milk and stir it into the pan to slightly thicken the mixture.

6. 6

   Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature before pouring into kulfi molds or popsicle sticks.

   Sprinkle the remaining pistachios into the molds and insert popsicle sticks once the mixture is semi-set (about 2 hours in).

8. 8

   Freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight until completely firm before serving.
