Description

A creamy and slightly grainy milk-based sweet infused with vibrant raspberry puree, gently scented with cardamom and topped with crunchy pistachios. This fruity twist on a traditional favorite is soft, rich, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tart.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 liter full-fat milk
  • 200 grams sweetened condensed milk
  • 150 grams fresh raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice


Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a square tray and set aside.
  2. Pour the full-fat milk into a heavy-bottomed pan and bring to a gentle boil.
  3. Add lemon juice and stir until the milk slightly curdles.
  4. Reduce heat and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the milk thickens.
  5. Add sweetened condensed milk, granulated sugar, and cardamom powder. Stir well.
  6. Blend the fresh raspberries into a smooth puree.
  7. Once the milk mixture thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan, gently fold in the raspberry puree to create soft swirls.
  8. Cook for a few more minutes until thick but still moist.
  9. Transfer the mixture into the prepared tray and spread evenly.
  10. Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
  12. Cut into 12 squares and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Stir continuously during cooking to prevent sticking or burning.
  • Measure raspberry puree carefully to avoid excess moisture.
  • Allow the mixture to cool completely before slicing for clean edges.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
