Ingredients

For the malai

2 lbs whole milk ricotta cheese

1/2 cup sugar/splenda(yep splenda)

for the ras

2 cups half and half

2TBSP sugar

1 tsp ground cardamom

a pinch of saffron

garnish

almonds

hardware

1 mini muffin pan (makes about 24 mini muffins)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350F

drain or remove any excess liquid from the cheese and make sure it dries for about 5 mins

Mix the ricotta cheese and 1/2 cup sugar together until well incorporated, it should be slightly sweet to taste, not too much.

spoon the cheese mixture into the miffin pan, about two spoons in each cup and even out the texture on top...it does not have to be perfect. cover the prepared pan loosely with aluminum foil.....you want to avoid the cheese mixture from turning brown. place into the oven to bake for 35-40 mins, check at 35 mins, inserted toothpick should come up clean.

let cheesecakes cool down completely in the pan before removal.

meanwhile, bring the half and half, sugar, cardamom and saffron to a boil and reduce to half of its original volume.

add the cooled cakes into the reduced milk(ras) and let sit on medium heat for about a minute.

remove cakes and liquid to a serving dish, garnish with almonds and allow to cool before placing into the refrigerator for about an hour

serve chilled

enjoy =)
