Ras Malai
This recipe taste great, the shape isnt round, but for beginners like moi, its great! Trust me, its worth a try.
Ingredients:
2 lbs ricotta cheese,
1 cup sugar
1 small pack whipping cream,
approx 4 oz half and half (about half cup),
1/2 cup milk,
sugar as per your taste( for the milk part of the recipe; I use almost about 6-8 spoons of sugar)
nutmeg,
cardomom,
chopped nuts for garnish
First mix the ricotta cheese, 1 cup sugar, and a pinch of nutmeg and cardomom powder. In 13X9 inch dish, spread the ricotta cheese mix and bake it in the oven at 350 degrees covered witha foil (so as not to brown the top). Bake about 40 mins – 50 mins.
For the milk part:
Whisk the half and half, whipping cream, milk and sugar (as per taste) till the sugar dissolves. Add the nutmeg and cardomom and the nuts.
When the baked part cools off completely, cut into cubes, and pour the milk mix over the top. Let it soak in the refrigerator for a while. Serve chilled.
Enjoy!
