Aren’t Indian fusion desserts enjoyable? I made my Rasmalai tres leches cake, and it has been very fashionable and it’s tremendous scrumptious, so I made a decision to make one other conventional cake into an Indian dessert model. This Indian tiramisu fusion recipe makes use of my tiramisu sheet cake and retains the espresso within the cake layer.

Then, you prime it with this wonderful cardamom cream that might remind you of Indian Kulfi. No coming is required for the cream layer. Simply mix and pour. As soon as it’s chilled, it thickens into an virtually ice cream-like texture, known as kulfi.

Kulfi is historically made by slowly cooking down milk with cardamom and different seasonings, then freezing it. On this recipe, we skip all of that cooking down and use a mixture of coconut milk and nuts to thicken the combination while not having to make use of the range in any respect.

For the kulfi tiramisu, I make the cake and break up it into two, so that you get these two skinny cake layers with two kulfi cream layers. It’s a scrumptious, decadent dessert which you can serve for festivals, like Diwali, and even the vacations and Thanksgiving!
