Ras malai is one of my favourite desserts out there and I LOVE making it. It is a classic Eid dessert that is perfect for special occasions. If you haven’t tried it then you are definitely missing out. It is a deliciously refreshing dessert consisting of soft and light spongy balls cooked and served in a sweetened milk mixture.
There are SO many different recipes out there and I have tried (almost!) every last one in my efforts to find the best rasmalai recipe out there. So, after much trial and error, I have perfected my favourite dessert and I can guarantee you success with my recipe every single time!
The biggest problem people have with rasmalai is the balls cracking and my top tip to avoid that is to make sure your balls are smooth and crack-free! It may seem tedious but trust me this step is vital to ensure that you get soft and spongy balls.
If your balls have cracks in them then when you drop them into the milk mixture the balls will begin to break apart where there are cracks.
I like to add pistachios and almonds, but these are optional so you can omit them if you don’t like pistachios or almonds. You can substitute with any nuts or dried fruit as per your personal preference. Once made chill the dessert in the fridge.
The best thing about this dessert is that you can make it the night before and just leave it in the fridge to chill so you have less stress the next day and can focus on making the rest of the food!
