RASMALAI DESSERT CUPS
Master the art of making simple yet efficient dessert for those busy summer days when you're craving something sweet but only have limited time to speer. Rasmalai is a popular Pakistani dessert made with milk, a curdling agent, sugar, nuts, saffron and cardamom. But I'm here to make it slightly more simple; by using a few shop bought ingredients which you can whip up in less than an hour. Yes, it might not be the traditional rasmalai but I guarantee you'll be making this a handful of times during the summer.Its the iconic Madeira cake submerged in a sweet sauce infused with pakistani spices then bedded with a light cream layer topped with fresh fruits; simple but yet so delicious!
