Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Multigrain Digestive Oat Biscuits | 12 biscuits |
| Butter (softened) | 2 tablespoons |
| Britannia Cheese Spread (Classic) | 1-1/2 cups |
| Hung Curd (Greek Yogurt) | 1-1/2 cups |
| Honey | 2 tablespoons |
| Rose Water | 1 tablespoon |
| Cardamom Powder (Elaichi) | 1 teaspoon |
| Motichoor Ladoos (Homemade or Store-Bought) | 10 ladoos |
| Pistachios (sliced, for garnish) | 1/2 cup |
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Base
To start off, prepare the biscuit base. Break the 12 multigrain digestive oat biscuits into pieces and add them to a food processor or chopper. Pulse them until you get a fine, grainy mixture. Transfer this mixture to a large bowl and add 2 tablespoons of softened butter. Using your hands, mix the butter thoroughly into the biscuit crumbs. The mixture should have a consistency such that when pressed together, it forms a lump, but when released, it crumbles apart. Set this aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Motichoor Ladoo Crumble
In a separate large mixing bowl, crumble the 10 Motichoor ladoos. Set them aside for later use. This will add a burst of traditional Indian sweetness to your cheesecake.
Step 3: Prepare the Yogurt & Cream Cheese Layer
Next, combine the Greek yogurt (hung curd) and cream cheese in a stand mixer or using a hand whisk. Whisk them together until you notice stiff peaks forming. Once the yogurt and cream cheese are well incorporated, add 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of rose water, and 1 teaspoon of cardamom powder to the mixture. Continue whisking for another 2 minutes on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and has soft peaks.
Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake
Now, it’s time to assemble the Motichoor Ladoo Yogurt Cheesecake. For a neat presentation, you can assemble the cheesecake in shot glasses, which are perfect for individual servings and add a festive touch.
- Take each shot glass and start by layering the bottom with about 1 teaspoon of the prepared biscuit base. Press it down firmly with a spoon to create a solid layer.
- Next, add a generous layer of the yogurt and cream cheese mousse mixture on top of the biscuit base.
- Sprinkle a layer of the crumbled Motichoor ladoos on top of the yogurt mixture.
- Garnish with sliced pistachios for a touch of crunch and color.
Step 5: Refrigerate and Set
Once all the shot glasses are filled, place them in the refrigerator for at least 4 to 5 hours to allow the layers to set. This step will also enhance the flavors and make the dessert even more refreshing.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
After the Motichoor Ladoo Yogurt Cheesecake has chilled and set, it’s ready to serve. These individual servings make for a perfect dessert, ideal for festive occasions like Holi, Diwali, or Raksha Bandhan, or any celebratory gathering.
Serving Suggestion
Serve this indulgent dessert after a hearty meal of Mixed Vegetable Pulao, Paneer Makhani, and a refreshing Tomato Onion Cucumber Raita. This combination creates a memorable dining experience for your guests, blending rich, creamy textures with traditional flavors.
