For the Saffron Milk

Method

Prepare the Cheese Dumplings

1

Mix Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cardamom powder, sugar, and milk. Mix until a soft dough forms.

2

Shape Dumplings

Wet your hands with water and take small portions of the dough, rolling them into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).

3

Boil Dumplings

In a large pot, bring water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water. Cook for about 10 minutes or until they puff up and float to the top. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Prepare the Saffron Milk

4

Heat Milk

In a saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.

5

Add Sugar and Saffron

Stir in the sugar and saffron strands. Continue to simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the saffron to infuse the milk with its color and flavor.

6

Finish the Milk

Remove the saucepan from heat and add the rose water. Allow the milk to cool slightly.

Assemble the Rasmali

7

Combine Dumplings and Milk

In a serving dish, arrange the cheese dumplings and pour the warm saffron milk over them, ensuring they are completely submerged.

8

Garnish

Sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top for garnish.

9

Serve

Allow the rasmali to soak for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
