Rasamalai

Never in my life I thought I would like cheese, lest I cook with it. But here I am licking every cheesy bit of this super easy delicious dessert a 5 year old can make.

I got this recipe from RP, but her blog is now closed :(. RP, Open up your kitchen please....

But then, if she is taking a break, why dont I write about this 5 minute in making dessert your guests are going to fall in love with. Honestly, I never cared for rasamalai, but this has made me change a lot of tiny little spots on my taste buds.

Buy a can of Whole Ricotta Cheese (refrigerate it for a day). Drop it into a bowl just right from the refrigerator. This makes it less watery. Add sugar say, 1/2 cup at first, whisk cheese and sugar using a beater, check for sweetness, add more and more and more :-)

Then, empty all that into a baking pan. I have tried using cookie pans and the picture I have here is one from it, but i really think using a cake pan or a glass pan is better and you cut them after baking. Somehow it feels it tastes better. So bake it in 350 degrees for 30 minutes or 45 minutes until a tooth pick comes out clean.

Take from oven. Refrigerate it.

Boil two cups of milk and reduce milk to one cup, add strands of saffron and enough sugar, add pistachio or/and slivered almonds.

Cut them into nice squares and add the milk sauce. They just dissolve into your mouth.
