One of the most cherished sweets of the multi-faceted Indian cuisine is Rasmalai. It is basically sweetened cheese added to sweetened and flavored milk and served chilled. I am sure in the Keto diet, an Indian you were missing this dessert. Don’t worry; Keto Rasmalai is a thing, and you enjoy it whenever you want.
The Keto version of this world-famous Indian sweet tries its best to match up to the original version. And can be made on Indian festivals, or special occasions, when you might feel left out.
The cottage cheese or paneer required for the Keto Rasmalai recipe should be ideally prepared at home. But you can also pick a packet from the supermarket. Always have this yummy dessert chilled, so be patient. Rasmalai is one of those Indian sweets that is liked by almost everyone, irrespective of the age and the culture one belongs to. The recipe is easy to make and can be prepared within an hour. And let me tell you it is worth the effort! So keep this recipe bookmarked for this weekend.
The sweetener required by the Keto rasmalai recipe can be either Stevia or Erythritol. I personally use Stevia from the Sugarfree brand and it has no after taste. Let’s get started !!

Looking forward to making this. Am I correct that the thick-bottomed pan in step 4 refers to the frying pan in step 3? And can you clarify what boiling liquid step 5 is referring to? Thank you.
Priya Dogra
The pans are the same, a thick bottomed pan 🙂
Happy Cooking !

Made this for my parents anniversary. Turned out really good. Just that my paneer became quite hard. I think 25 minutes may have been a bit much in my oven. Will surely try it again soon.
