Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 200g motichoor ladoo
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Chopped nuts for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Crumble the motichoor ladoos into fine, even crumbs. Divide the crumbs equally among 4 glass jars, pressing them down firmly to create a compact base layer.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for best results.
- Gradually add sugar to the cream cheese, continuing to mix until the mixture is well combined and slightly fluffy.
- Gently fold in the vanilla extract, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Use a clean whisk or electric mixer, being careful not to overwhip.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, using a spatula and maintaining a light, airy texture.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the motichoor ladoo base in each jar, creating an even layer and leaving some space at the top.
- Refrigerate the jars for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake layer to set and develop a rich, creamy consistency.
- Before serving, garnish each jar with chopped nuts like pistachios or almonds for added texture and visual appeal.
- Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator for the best taste and presentation.
Tips
- Perfect Crumbling: Ensure the motichoor ladoos are crumbled finely and evenly for a smooth base. A food processor can help achieve the right texture quickly.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: For a smoother cream cheese mixture, let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before mixing. This will help eliminate lumps.
- Gentle Folding: When incorporating the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, fold gently to maintain the light and airy texture that makes this cheesecake so delightful.
- Chill Time: Allow the jars to chill for at least 2 hours, but if you can wait longer, the flavors will meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.
- Garnish Wisely: Experiment with different nuts for garnishing, such as cashews or walnuts, to add your personal touch and extra crunch to the dessert.
- Serving Suggestion: For an elegant presentation, consider drizzling some honey or a fruit coulis over the top before serving.
