NO COOK RABDI GULABJAMUN CUPS DIWALI DESSERT
Recently I hosted a ladies’ night at my house. All the friends came decked up in their best attire and adorned in fine jewelry. There was lots of food, fun, games and dancing.
It had to be a great night since all of us came together after the hiatus of covid. And then there was this Henna artist who came and applied beautiful henna to all the guests. All in all, it was a beautiful night which kept me smiling for a week at least.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that these RABDI GULABJAMUN CUPS were the highlight of the party. My guests were so delighted to have tasted it. Of course it followed the request for the recipe.
So this recipe is for all my girl friends in person and virtual who love to host and in style. This combination of GULABJAMUN and RABDI is a match made in heaven. And when it is an effortless no cook recipe like this, it is a win win situation for all.
Honestly, this recipe is the invention of the times when you are actually pressed for TIME. I had planned to make Kheer and Gulabjamun separately. And then I ran out of time. Therefore I combined my instant rabdi with store-bought gulabjamuns and this was a SUPER DUPER HIT!
This is an amazingly delicious combination of 2 popular Indian sweets – Rabdi and Gulabjamun.

What are the ingredients of Rabdi Gulabjamun Cups Recipe?
Gulabjamun – Use them drained from the syrup. Strain the syrup through a sieve and use. You can either make these at home or buy from the market. I used store bought HALDIRAM’s GULABJAMUNS and they really are so good.
Ricotta Cheese – You can use either low fat or original. Strain it through a cheesecloth for 1-2 hrs.
Chopped Nuts – Use pistachio and almonds
Rose Water used in cooking or Saffron
Whip It Stabilizer – It is optional. I have used it to stabilize rabdi to create mousse like texture. You can skip it. And for the information, it does not have gelatin or agar agar. Bakers use it to stabilize whipped cream to use in baking products.
KITCHEN GADGETS USED IN THE RECIPE
How to make Instant Rabdi Gulabjamun Dessert Cups for Diwali?
It is a very easy process. This recipe makes about 14 dessert cups. Please watch the video for better understanding.
Prepare the Ricotta Cheese
Transfer the ricotta cheese to the clean cheesecloth. Wrap it up. Place the cheesecloth wrapped ricotta in a kitchen strainer. And then place it in a bowl for 1-2 hrs. This will take out any extra water from the ricotta making it dry to use. Drier it is, better it is.
Prepare Gulabjamun for the dessert cups
If you are making Gulab jamuns from scratch, then use those. Make sure to drain the syrup from all the gulabjamuns. They should be dry. You can use Kalajaam too. Set them aside.
Prepare Nuts for Garnish
Take unsalted raw pistachio and almonds and chop them coarsely or finely on a chopping board.
How to Make Instant Rabdi?
This is the most fun part of the dessert. Since it is so ridiculously delicious, you can eat it as is or combine to make this FUSION DESSERT.
Take a mixing bowl and add strained ricotta cheese to it. Pour condensed milk and add cardamom powder + rose water to the bowl. Mix it all together with a spoon.
You can leave the rabdi at this point since it is ready. But I went further and created RABDI MOUSSE.
To create Rabdi Mousse, add WHIP IT STABILIZER to the rabdi. Beat it on high for 1 minute with Electric Beater. It will stiffen a bit. The RABDI MOUSSE is ready.
How to make RABDI GULABJAMUN DESSERT CUPS?
Take a ziplock bag. Add Rabdi Mousse to it. Make 1 inch slit in a corner. It is ready to pipe. You can use a pastry piping bag too if you have it.
Now align the 14 small dessert cups in a line. Divide the Rabdi mousse equally in 14 dessert cups. Further place 1 Gulabjamun in the cup right in the middle. Finish all the cups likewise. Garnish all the Dessert Cups with chopped pistachios and almonds.
Cover these cups with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1-2 hrs before serving. They are best enjoyed chilled.
Can I make these in advance?
Absolutely yes. These are best served chilled. Therefore make them a day ahead or few hrs before hosting.
How long can you store these?
These Fusion Diwali Dessert Cups stay in great condition for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
Can I make it in any other flavor?
Yes. You can flavor it with saffron instead of rose water.
Can I double the recipe?
This recipe yields 14 small dessert cups. You can easily double or triple it for larger groups.
Is it healthy?
LOL! NOOOO!! This recipe is pure indulgence and created especially for Diwali. So go indulge.
