I am mana .

Welcome to Mana's kitchen .

Rasmalai cake is a twist on a very popular Bengali dessert .

Rasmalai .

This is a quick and easy recipe .

Instead , homemade .

I'm using ricotta cheese .

This is also the first milk based dessert I learned after coming to America , I have also done the recipe for microwave milk cake using ricotta cheese .

Rasmalai cake can be served for any festive occasions .

This recipe will serve six to make rasmalai cake we will need for cake .

I need 15 ounce whole milk ricotta cheese , two tablespoons of sugar , 1/4 teaspoon of carbon powder for milk .

We need two cups of whole milk .

Well , a half table spoon of sugar , 1/4 teaspoon of carbon powder for garnishing .

We need few strands of saffron , one table spoon of sliced pistachios and one table spoon of sliced almonds .

So first I'm going to bake the cake .

So I'm going to add the sugar and carbon powder in ricotta cheese and mix it well .

Ok , here is the ricotta cheese , add the sugar and carbon powder and mix it well and whip it for about half a minute .

Ricotta cheese is ready .

I am using five by seven Pyrex pan to bake the cake .

I have already lined the pan with parchment paper .

So now pour the ricotta cheese and they spread it evenly .

I have already preheated the oven at 300 °F .

And I will bake the cake for 35 minutes .

But after 10 minutes , I will cover the cake with the aluminum foil .

While cake is getting ready .

I'm going to prepare the mec for , I'm using the white pan to boil the milk .

As you see , I have wetted the pan and left little water in it .

This prevents milk not to burn .

So , and I will boil it on medium high .

So here is the milk and heat is on medium high .

So keep stirring the milk occasionally and do keep cleaning the sides .

So it doesn't burn or get brown and this , this should take after a boil about 20 minutes .

It has been already 15 minutes .

Milk is boiling .

So and it's as you see , it is almost to a half than what we started with .

So I'm going to add the sugar and carbon powder and just cook for about three or four more minutes and keep cleaning the sides .

Milk is ready and this will be a little more thick after it cools off and it has taken me about 20 minutes after it came to boil .

So I will turn off the heat .

I have taken out the cake from the oven .

It is ready .

As you see , it has started browning a little bit and uh because of the cover , it prevents not browning too much on the top .

So after it cools off to the room temperature , then I will assemble the rasmalai cake .

So I have already taken out the cake from the pan over the serving plate .

So because of this parchment paper , it is much easier to remove the cake .

I'm ready to assemble the cake .

First , I will cut the cake and then pour the milk .

That way .

Rasmalai rasmalai cake will absorb the more milk and then pour the milk .

You should refrigerate the rasmalai cake at least for an hour in the refrigerator .

So the cake has absorbed the milk and uh when you are ready to serve , then garnish it .

But I'm going to garnish it right now .

So first put some best statues and almonds and some strengths of sara which gives the nice color rasmalai cake looks very appealing and it has a beautiful color and beautiful aroma of saffron and car powder .

I will serve rasmalai cake for dinner and enjoy with my friends .
