    About Rabdi Gulab Jamun Parfait

    Rabdi Gulab Jamun Parfait is an easy fusion dessert that has delicious layers of juicy gulab jamuns and rabdi saffron flavored cream topped with rose petals and nuts.

    If you have rabdi and gulab jamun ready at home, this fusion dessert comes together in just 10 minutes. It is a great dessert to make for a crowd as well.

    Instead of layering the components into individual bowls, you can arrange them in a large tray, and voila, your dessert for a crowd is ready in just 10 minutes!

    This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.

    Ingredients

    For The Cream

    To make the flavored cream, you will need whipping cream, rabdi, saffron strands, and cardamom powder.

    I like to use non-dairy whipping cream that bakers use to dress the cake. It is available in most grocery stores. You can use heavy whipping cream too.

    You can either make Rabdi at home or use a store-bought one. It is easily available at an India mithai shop. You can also buy a ready-to-make pack of rabdi, if time is a constraint.

    Use good quality saffron and cardamom powder.

    Gulab Jamuns

    Make Gulab Jamuns at home, or get them from the local mithai shop.

    Rose Petals and Pistachios

    Garnish the parfait with dried rose petals and slivered pistachios. You can also add in more nuts such as slivered almonds ad cashews.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve Rabdi Gulab Jamun Parfaits for Indian festivals like Diwali, Holi, or Raksha Bandhan, etc.

    It is also a great dessert to make for Indian-themed parties or get-togethers.

    Storage Suggestions

    Once assembled, these fusion parfaits will last for 2-3 days in a covered jar in the refrigerator.

    This is also a great “make ahead” dessert that can be prepared 24-48 hours before, and stored in the refrigerator.
