Many of us who follow the Keto diet often find ourselves longing for the sweet indulgence of “Mishti Doi” or sweetened yogurt. So, I decided to create my own version of this delightful treat.

Introducing my Keto Bhapa Doi, a dessert that closely resembles the flavors of Mishti Doi while adhering to the principles of the Keto diet.

The best part is that it is easy to make and doesn’t require much time. When it’s ready, the perfectly set Bhapa Doi presents a visually appealing sight that will make your mouth water.

There is one drawback to this recipe, though. Unlike the traditional method of setting curd in a warm casserole, you’ll need an oven for my version of Bhapa Doi. It’s possible that you can also achieve the same results using a slow cooker, but I haven’t personally tried it yet. I have used stevia as the sweetener in this recipe, but feel free to use any sweetener of your choice.

Also, my nutrition numbers at the end of the recipe might not match up to yours, as the coconut milk and the Greek yogurt that you might use might have a different break-up.

Bhapa doi is a steamed version of mishti doi, which isn’t as sweet and has a cheesecake-like consistency to it. Bhapa doi, or Bengal’s answer to cheesecake, is often flavored with saffron and cardamom, and sometimes topped with mango purée — Mint.

If you really are up for an adventure then once the yogurt is set, you can sprinkle some unsweetened brown sugar or dark chocolate on top, use a blow torch, voilà you get your very own “Crème Brulee” or “Bhapa doi Brule ”.

If you want to serve this to your friends, I suggest set it in individual bowls and let them guess the ingredients. Also, since Eid is just around the corner, you can make it extra special with this simple dessert.

Eid Mubarak !
