Ingredients
Scale
- For the Custard:
- 3 tablespoons Custard Powder (or cornstarch with ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract)
- 4 cups Milk (full-fat recommended)
- 1 cup Sugar
- For the Rasgullas:
- 35 pieces Mini Rasgullas
- Nuts (for garnish, optional)
- Dried Rose Petals (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Combine warm milk and custard powder in a cup, mixing until smooth to create the custard base.
- Heat the remaining milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar and stir until fully dissolved.
- Gradually add the custard mixture to the warm milk while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spatula (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the custard from heat and allow it to cool.
- Gently squeeze the rasgullas to remove excess syrup, retaining some moisture.
- Mix the squeezed rasgullas into the cooled custard, reserving 8-10 for garnish.
- Chill the combined dessert in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled in dessert cups, garnished with the reserved rasgullas, nuts, and dried rose petals.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute whole milk with almond or coconut milk and ensure your custard powder is egg-free.
- Store Custard Rasgullas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the texture.
- If the custard doesn’t thicken, continue stirring over low heat.
- Omit nuts for a nut-free version; consider cardamom or saffron for flavor.
