Put the milk in a wide pot and reduce it by one third over medium-low heat for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cream, granulated sugar, cardamom, and salt and thicken for 8 more minutes.
Finely grind half of the pistachios and roughly chop the rest.
Add the pistachios and rose water to the milk mixture and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Divide the mixture among kulfi molds or small glasses.
Freeze the molds for at least 6 hours.
To unmold the kulfi, briefly hold the outside under warm water and serve cold.
💡 Tip: Reducing the milk in a wide pot over low heat helps kulfi freeze creamy instead of icy; rushing it at a boil leaves a scorched milk taste on the bottom.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Unmold the kulfi, sprinkle with pistachios, and serve as a dessert plate with hot Turkish coffee if desired.
