Kulfi Cheesecake
Method
- Start by blitzing the biscuits in a food processor or crushing them inside a sealed bag with a rolling pin into fine crumbs; transfer them to a bowl.
- Add pistachios and almonds to a food processor and grind coarsely. Add them to the biscuit crumbs.
- Melt the butter in the microwave for a few seconds or over the stove. Pour the melted butter onto the crushed biscuits, pistachios, and almonds. Mix everything together.
- Preheat the oven to 200° C.
- Grease and line an 8-inch baking tin with parchment paper.
- Transfer the crust mixture into the prepared tin and press down until an even base is formed.
- Bake the base in a preheated oven for 8-10 mins.
- In a large mixing bowl, place the softened room-temperature cream cheese and break it thoroughly with a spatula until smooth.
- Add condensed milk to the cream cheese and whisk.
- Add the evaporated milk along with saffron, ground cardamom, pre-sifted cornflour, and self-raising flour.
- Whisk on a low speed until you get a smooth mix without any lumps.
- Add one egg at a time and I prefer to use a hand whisk while beating eggs to ensure that I don't overwhip the mixture.
- Then add the second egg and then the third. Make sure the batter is smooth and there are no visible lumps.
- Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared tin. Tap lightly to remove any air bubbles and smoothen the top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C for 60 mins or until the edges are hardened but the middle part is still jiggly.
- Once baked turn off the oven but allow the cheesecake to remain in the oven for half an hour with the door slightly open.
- After taking out the cheesecake from the oven, remove it from the tin and cool it completely at room temperature.
- Thereafter, refrigerate for a minimum of 5-6 hours or overnight.
- In a saucepan, add water and honey. Cook until thickened, take off the heat, and cool down slightly.
- Add pistachio and almonds (chopped or whole as per preference). Mix it well and spread it over the cheesecake. Let it set for 30 mins.
- Garnish with rose petals and enjoy.
