Heritage Kulfi Brings Classic South Asian Flavors to Premium Ice Cream<\/a><\/p>\n

In South Asia<\/span>,\u00a0kulfi<\/i>, a creamy, sweet, frozen dessert made in small batches courtesy of neighborhood street vendors, is one of the most delicious ways to cool off on a warm day with family and friends.<\/p>\n

Made by slow-cooking fresh milk with traditional ingredients<\/strong> such as saffron, rosewater and pistachio, kulfi is dense, creamy, slow-melting, and tastes like home to South Asians around the world.<\/p>\n

A first-generation American,\u00a0Mansoor Ahmed<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0is now on a mission to bring his own spin on this authentic experience to American audiences with the launch of\u00a0Heritage Kulfi<\/a>, his line of premium kulfi ice cream with South Asian flavors.<\/p>\n

Growing up in\u00a0New York<\/span>, Ahmed truly had the best of both worlds: the rich tradition of South Asian cuisine, imparted by his parents who immigrated to the U.S. from\u00a0Pakistan<\/span>, and American favorites including ice cream.<\/p>\n

He became passionate about combining the two and honoring the ingredients of his family’s culture in a fresh, new way.<\/p>\n

Instead of relying on flavor extracts, he used traditional recipes and cooking methods \u2014 carefully steeping whole Assam black tea leaves and sourcing the highest-quality, premium saffron threads handpicked from crocus flowers.<\/p>\n

The result? Heritage Kulfi offers a luxurious, thoughtful take on classic ice cream with flavors, textures, and aromas that instantly transport you to\u00a0South Asia<\/span>:\u00a0Saffron<\/b>,\u00a0Rosewater<\/b>,\u00a0Pistachio<\/b>,\u00a0Cardamom Chai<\/b>,\u00a0Alphonso Mango<\/span><\/b>,\u00a0Coconut<\/b>,\u00a0Earl Grey<\/span><\/b>,\u00a0Vanilla Bean<\/b>,\u00a0Malai Sweet Cream<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Almond Blossom<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Each individual hero ingredient shines in all its glory. Deceptively simple at first glance, each bite reveals the robust flavors of Ahmed’s meticulous sourcing and handling of each exceptional ingredient.<\/p>\n

For example, Rosewater is reminiscent of a childhood favorite,\u00a0falooda<\/i>, all grown up with a fragrant, sophisticated, delicate rose flavor and gorgeous pink color. Only the “King of Mangos,” the Alphonso mango, will do for Heritage Kulfi; each pint tastes of the joyful peak summer season when these fresh “liquid gold” mangos are fleetingly available.<\/p>\n

Every aspect of the production process is also given a similar attention to detail. Heritage Kulfi’s packaging is\u00a0certified as sustainably sourced\u00a0by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. The company partners with regional farms\u00a0to ensure the best flavor, the freshness of milk and cream and reduce the shipping footprint. All Heritage Kulfi’s ice creams are egg-free,\u00a0halal,\u00a0kosher, gluten-free, non-GMO and sweetened only with organic cane sugar.<\/p>\n

“For so many South Asians, kulfi is part of treasured memories of home but it’s not something so easy to find here in the U.S.,”<\/p>\n

Mansoor Ahmed<\/span><\/p>\n

Heritage Kulfi<\/p>\n

founder and CEO<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“I wanted to connect with my heritage and also reach those flavor-obsessed consumers who love exploring international cultures through food. I’m so proud of what we’ve been able to create and absolutely love seeing all the smiles when people try Heritage Kulfi for the first time.”<\/p>\n
