Today I’m sharing this incredible sweet, Bread Rasmalai Recipe, a favourite dessert in our family. It’s easy peasy & quick to make!

Rasmalai is a popular Indian dessert with creamy sweet cheese dumplings. This classic dessert inspires me to make another lighter variant called Bread Rasmalai. You can call it a sister of the conventional Ras Malai.

Desserts are an integral part of our diet, whether or not we are on a diet!! Even if we are, we tend to find shortcuts and supplements to convince our calorie meters!!! Well, bread cannot replace cheese dumplings of course! But serve this dessert chilled and you wouldn’t notice much of a difference, it tastes as good as the original classic recipe. Trust me!  Go ahead and try it right now .

On this Valentine’s Day, indulge your sweet tooth with this special dessert recipe!

Step-by-Step process to follow for

Bread Rasmalai Recipe:

There are main steps involved to prepare the base for Bread Rasmalai Recipe.

• Preparing Rabri or Thickened milk flavoured with cardamom
• Frying bread pieces
• Sugar syrup
• Fresh cream
• Nuts mixture
• Finally layering all of these together

Let’s go through each step:

Preparing Rabri:

• Rabri is thickened milk flavoured with cardamom and saffron, which is the base for bread rasmalai.
• To prepare rabri, boil milk in a heavy bottomed wide mouth vessel over medium heat. Keep stirring occasionally till the milk starts to thicken and reduces to half. This will take about 30 to 40 minutes.
• Half way through the boiling, add saffron strands and one tablespoon of sugar. You can also take 2 tbsp of warm milk, add saffron strands and crush it well and then add to the milk.

• Turn off the heat when the milk reduces to half and thickens.
• Add cardamom powder and the rabri is ready. Let it cool and refrigerate it.

Preparing Bread:

• Trim the sides of the bread and cut into desired shape.
• You can also just add rabdi over the bread slices at this stage & call it a day. but, that’s not my preferred way as i feel the bread is too delicate & becomes soggy. Now, let’s move on to the next step.

• Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and shallow fry the bread pieces till they turn golden brown. Set aside to cool down.

NOTE: You can also deep fry bread slices optionally. Choose your preferred method. I like to shallow fry.

Sugar syrup:

• Add water to the sugar and bring it to boil over medium heat for about 10 minutes till you get a thick syrup. Turn off the heat and set it aside to cool.

NOTE: You can also add sugar directly to rabdi while preparing it & skip this step. Either way is fine. You can check my VIDEO for this variation.

Fresh cream:

• You can directly use store bought fresh cream.

Nut mixture:

• Grab all the different nuts you would like to include in your Bread Rasmalai Recipe.
• Finely chop cashews and Pistachios.
• To remove the skin of almonds, soak in half cup of water and microwave for a minute. After 10 minutes, peel off the skin and then chop almonds. If you prefer to leave the skin on, chop it as it is.
• You can use raisins directly.

• All the basic ingredients are ready.
• Now you have to add all these ingredients layer by layer to prepare bread rasmalai.

Layering & Assembling Bread Rasmalai:

• Now take a wide bowl and arrange all the bread pieces as shown below.
• Cover all the bread pieces with a layer of rabri.
• Drizzle a few drops of the sugar syrup and run along the bread pieces.
• For the next layer, add few drops of fresh cream.
• Finally add the nuts.

• Now follow another round of all the layers in the same order starting with bread, finally ending up with the nuts. Repeat till all the bread pieces are done layering.

• If you have made large quantity, you may have to continue for another round. Number of layers depends on the size of the bowl used and number of bread pieces. Make sure you follow the layering order.

• Refrigerate and serve chilled. Let the bread rasmali soak for at least 1 to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

• Use nuts & dry fruits of your choice. The quantities can also be adjusted to your liking.
• All the ingredients must be cold or at room temperature when finally arranging the layers of bread rasmalai, otherwise bread becomes soggy.
• Fresh cream is optional, you can avoid it if you want to cut down a few calories.
• You can also avoid the sugar syrup step and add the sugar directly in the rabri. adjust sugar to suit your taste by increasing or decreasing it.
• Usually bread pieces are deep fried in ghee. So, if you want to try it out, feel free to do so. I prefer to shallow fry them so that you can enjoy them guilt-free.
• I mostly use whole wheat bread instead of white bread. I think it's a healthier option. Today I have used white bread to get the golden brown colour for my photos.
