RASMALAI/RICOTTA CHEESE RASMALAI-KING OF SWEETS




ohhhh!!!!U can say it as "king of sweets"..a wonderful sweet i have ever had in my life..I got this recipe from my husband and I remembered it when one of his colleague's wife asked about it to me.The day he made it i still remember, we both were enjoying that golden period of life-yes u r right!!the period between engagement and marriage.He was making it for the potluck party by his colleagues.Don't say "lucky u",after marriage he has hardly entered our kitchen.anyways..i dedicate this sweet as a remembrance for that golden period and to all who are enjoying it.

Ingredients
1) Ricotta Cheese 2 lbs.
2) Almonds and pistachios- Handful
3) half and half milk - 1/2 gallon
4) Heavy whipping cream - 100 ml
5) Rose and Vanilla syrup
6)sugar-1/2 cup (acc to ur sweetness)
Making of rasmalai
1. Mix Sugar 1/2 cup and ricotta cheese and mix well. In a baking pan,
make sure it is a dish with 1/2 inch side, touch it with ghee and dust
it with any flour. Put the mix in it and flatten it out evenly with a
ladle.
3. Heat baking oven to 350 deg, place the baking dish and cook well
for 30 min. Close the baking dish with aluminum foil. It should become
like brown at the sides or if it is cooked well ok.After it has become
cold, cut it to required shape and refrigerate it for 2 days.
4. In a heavy vessel, pour milk and half and half and bring to
boil.Boil for like 40 mins and then add the whipping cream.Keep
stirring through out .after the milk has become thick enough add 1/2
cup of sugar. the milk now becomes little diluted.Bring to a nice
boil.
