Kalakand with ricotta cheese | Kalakand Recipe In Microwave

Kalakand with ricotta cheese

 

Kalakand in Microwave

 

Kalakand (milk burfi) is an Indian milk fudge also known as Indian milk cakes. This sweet is soft, tempting, healthy, tasty and one of my favorite dessert. There are many ways to make it but this time I wanted to choose the quickest way to make it. I was googling for some ideas and stumbled upon this kalakand recipe from blog  thelady8home which was made in microwave. After reading the recipe I decided to try it and it turned out very good kalakand. If you are looking for a hassle free and shortcut version of Kalakand, this microwave recipe is perfect. This recipe was made using condensed milk which reduces its cooking time and also adds a nice creaminess to it.

Let’s go through the recipe with exact steps as explained in the blog where I read it.

rep time: 2 mins | Cooking time: 20 mins |
Type: Dessert | Serves: 4

Ingredients

425 grams / 1 tub of Ricotta cheese
340 grams / 1 can of Condensed milk
1/2  teaspoon  Cardamom powder
Few Pistachios, chopped

Step by step kalakand with ricotta cheese

 

Step 1. In a microwave safe dish, pour condensed milk and combine ricotta cheese until smooth, without any lumps.

Step 4. Mix well again, scrapping the sides. Check the consistency.
Microwave again, this time for 2 minutes, keeping an eye on it so that it does not fall over.

Step 5. Combine it well. Add cardamom powder. Now return to the microwave, and cook uncovered for 6 minutes, mixing well every 2 minutes (the mixing breaks are very important).

Step 6. The mixture should start looking less smooth and more granular. See the granular texture.

Step 7. My microwave is 700Watts, so adjust the cooking time according to your microwave. You might need to cook for 2 to 4 more minutes, mixing every 1 minute or so.

      Hi Pooja,
      I didn’t add any colour to the recipe. It is just lighting which is making it look yellow but you may add it look beautiful.
      Thanks

    I tried this recipe. It tasted good but it was breaking, it did not get formed into burfi pieces. Had to use spoon to eat it. Could you please let me know what went wrong.
