Ingredients
Required Components
- Custard
- Mini Gulab Jamun Store bought, Bikaji brand, each can has 28 pieces
- Nut Brittle ~ Praline ~ Chikki Store bought, I used sesame seeds chikki
Custard
- 3 cups Milk I used 2% milk
- 3 tablespoon Custard Powder I used Bird’s custard powder
- ¼ – ⅓ teaspoon Cardamom Seeds powdered
- 5 - 6 tablespoon Sugar to taste
Instructions
Custard
- Take 2 – 3 tablespoon of milk in a bowl, add custard powder, cardamom powder to the bowl and make a fine, lump free paste. Keep the paste aside.
- Take remaining milk in a saucepan and bring it to a boil.
- Reduce the flame, add some hot milk to custard paste, mix well and pour it back into hot pan of milk, stirring constantly.
- Cook/simmer for few minutes until custard thickens and coats the back of the spoon.
- Keeping aside a tablespoon of sugar, add sugar to custard and mix until it melts into custard.
- When desired consistency is reached, turn off the flame. Mind you, custard thickens when it cools.
- Tip – Sprinkle remaining one tablespoon of sugar on custard and let it cool. Sugar will melt and prevent the custard from forming a thick layer on the surface.
- When custard is cool, refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serving
- Open can of gulab jamun and warm few pieces of jamun in microwave for 20-30 seconds.
- Crumble brittle/chikki to small pieces.
- Take custard in serving bowls, add gulab jamun and top it with broken chikki.
Notes
- Custard - To prepare custard, follow your own recipe or follow the instructions on the back of the custard powder box. Since custard is served with jamun, which is soaked in sugar syrup, I used less sugar.
- Serving - In the above photos, I used mini bowls and 1 jamun per bowl. When serving to your guests or family, serve at least 2-3 mini jamuns per bowl.
