Ingredients
Instant Rabri:
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup condensed milk , more to taste
- 2 slices white bread , crust-removed and pulsed into breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp almond powder , optional
- 7-8 strands saffron , soaked in 1 tbsp warm milk
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
Parfait:
- 2 cups cottage cheese or crumbled paneer , homemade or store-bought
- 1 cup alphonso mango pulp , canned
- 6-8 motichoor ladoo , crumbled, store-bought
- 1 tbsp pistachio , slivered
- 1 tbsp almonds , slivered
- edible foil
- edible flowers
Instructions
Instant Rabri:
-
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan on high flame, add in the milk and simmer for 5 minutes. Once boiling, turn the flame to medium and gradually add in the fresh breadcrumbs and almond flour.
-
Let simmer for 10-15 minutes and then add in your condensed milk, cardamom, and saffron. Stir gently and switch off the flame. The mixture should be relatively thick.
-
Transfer to a separate bowl and let it cool completely on the counter, making sure to scrape all the milk solids off the pan. Let chill in the fridge for 3-5 hours.
Setting Parfait:
-
For serving, you can use a large dish or small ramekins or mason jars. Spread the mango pulp into a 1/4-1/2 inch layer. I haven’t added any sugar since it should be sweetened enough.
-
Now, gently spread a 1 inch layer of cottage cheese or crumbled paneer, making sure not to press it down. Be sure not to add any sugar. To make the cottage cheese at home, see my Pineapple Sandesh recipe.
-
Add a 1 inch layer of the motichoor ladoo, careful not to press down.
-
By now, your rabri will have thickened and come together. Spread a 1/2 inch thick layer on top of the ladoo.
-
Bake it at 350°F in a pre-heated oven for 8-10 minutes.
-
Garnish with nuts, gold foil, and edible flowers and serve.
