Instructions

Step 1

Pour the milk into a saucepan, add the saffron and cardamom powder, and give it a good stir.

Step 2

Heat it over medium flame until it comes to a boil, then let it simmer until the milk reduces by half. Stir in the crushed nuts and set it aside to cool.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whip the cream with a little yellow food coloring until you get stiff peaks. Set that aside too.

Step 4

Take two bread slices and use a round cutter to cut out circles. Keep them ready.

Step 5

Now, grab a glass and start layering: a spoonful of whipped cream, then a bread circle, followed by some of the milk mixture. Repeat with another layer of cream and finish off with a sprinkle of nuts on top.

Step 6

And that’s it—your creamy, dreamy ras malai mousse is ready to enjoy!

Storage Tips

Keep the mousse covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Avoid freezing, as it can change the texture. Stir gently before serving if it has settled.
