Rasmalai is a delicious Indian dessert, which is loved by almost everyone. It consists of Indian cottage cheese cakes immersed in cardamom and saffron flavored milk. The cakes are made in the same way as rasgulla but I am preparing it with store bought ricotta (Italian cheese). Since ricotta falls in the same category as paneer, that can be heated without melting, it is a perfect choice for making rasmalai.

Orange Flavored Chocolate Risotto
I have never met a rice dessert that I didn’t like. I had this chocolate rice pudding at a dinner party, and it was so delicious and elegant looking that I found myself craving and admiring days after. So, when I saw a chocolate risotto recipe in Christine Ingram’s book I decided to make it with my own little twist by adding orange to it!
Chocolate Pudding
Custard is among one of the dessert that I remember from childhood. It is similar to english pudding, but is eggless. My mom often used to make it for weekend family dinner, get togethers or when she had unexpected guests. It was quick, convenient and always tasted good with seasonal fruits. As for me it is not only a dessert with fruits but also a base for several other desserts.

Kheer And Malpua (Rice Pudding with Festive Indian Pancakes)
Easy to make, a perfect for all festivals, Kheer is Indian version of rice pudding made by slow cooking rice in milk with addition of fragrant ingredients like cardamom powder, rose water, saffron and generous amount of almonds and raisins. Kheer can be eaten cold or warm depending on how the weather is in your side of the woods. It’s an exquisite desert in itself, however on special occasions or during monsoon kheer is best enjoyed with malpuas. And malpuas must always be eaten with kheer. The wholesome combination is heavenly and you will be overwhelmed with a wonderful feeling of satiation.
