Happy Diwali to My Readers All Over The 
World!

When Subhashini Ramsingh of Fondbites made the Motichoor Kesar Gulab Cheesecake for Bake Along #43, I knew what I should be making for Diwali..... So, here is my special Diwali sweet to all my readers..... And wishing you all once again a "Happy and Prosperous Diwali' and do play safe with the crackers *smiles*........


Ingredients:

Motichoor Laddu - 5

For the Cheesecake
Cream cheese - 180 gm
Condensed milk - 200ml
Thick coconut milk - 1/2 cup
Fresh cream - 200 ml
Warm milk - 1/4 cup
Saffron strands - a big pinch, depending on how strong you want the flavor to be.
Gelatin - 2 tbsp
Water - 1/2 cup


For the Glaze
Gelatin - 1 tbsp
Water - 1/2 cup
Gulkhand - 20 gmn
Fresh cream - 20 gm
Pink food colour - 3 drops


Method:

For the cheesecake
  • Use a springform cake pan to make it, as it is easy to get the cheesecake out of the pan.
  • To the warm milk, add saffron strands and let it soak for 15-30 mins.
  • Pour cream cheese, condensed milk, fresh cream, and the thick coconut milk into a bowl and beat them all together until it is smooth. This may take few seconds.
  • In a bowl add water and gelatin and mix well. Let it bloom for 5 mins and then MW for 1 minute, until the gelatin mixture is completely clear.
  • Filter the saffron milk and add it into the cream cheese mixture. To that, add the gelatin mixture and mix well gently with the spatula until everything is mixed well.
  • Crush the ladoos and press them firmly into the springform pan. Make sure the sides are well sealed and level them as much as possible.
  • Pour the cheesecake mixture over the the laddoo base and place it in a freezer to set for about 30 mins or until firm and wobbly to touch but not sticky.

For the Glaze
  • Add water and gelatin to a bowl and let it bloom for 5 mins. Then MW for 1 minute until it is clear.
  • Add gulkhand and fresh cream to it and mix well.
  • Add food colouring and mix well. Drain and keep aside.
  • Once the cheesecake is set, pour the glaze over it and keep it back in the freezer for another 30 minutes or until firm.
  • Remove from the freezer to the fridge before serving.
  • Decorate with rose petals or saffron strands and serve.
