Description
Sitaphal Phirni Motichoor Cups is a festive Indian dessert featuring creamy custard apple phirni nestled inside sweet motichoor ladoo cups, garnished for elegance.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Phirni:
- 1 cup Short Grain Rice (soaked and drained)
- 4 cups Whole Milk
- 3/4 cup Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup Custard Apple Pulp (or substitute with mango or lychee)
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
- For Assembly:
- 6 pieces Motichoor Ladoos (store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons Slivered Pistachios (for garnish)
- Pistachio Powder (for garnish)
- Edible Gold Foil (for garnish)
- Pomegranate Seeds (for garnish)
- Saffron (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Phirni Base: Blend short grain rice with some whole milk until smooth.
- In a saucepan, heat the remaining milk to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir in the rice paste and continue stirring until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Flavor the Phirni: Mix in sugar and continue simmering while stirring until it becomes velvety.
- Stir in the custard apple pulp along with cardamom powder.
- Chill this mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to achieve a thicker consistency.
- Form Ladoo Cups: Gently press the motichoor ladoos against the sides of a mold or your serving cups, shaping them into little cups.
- Assemble Cups: Once the phirni is chilled, pipe it generously into the ladoo cups, being careful not to overflow.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with pistachio powder, add pomegranate seeds, and top with edible gold foil for an elegant touch. Optionally, add saffron.
Notes
- Best enjoyed freshly made.
- If refrigerated, allow to chill slightly before serving for optimal flavor and creaminess.
- Store assembled cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- For longer storage, separate phirni and ladoo cups.
