    About This Recipe

    Rasmalai Trifle is a fusion dessert that has layers of melt-in-mouth ras malai flavored cream, soft rasmalai, and sponge cake crumble topped with pistachio powder.

    If you have ready rasmalai and sponge cake on hand, this easy and fun trifle comes together in just 10 minutes.

    Instead of assembling the dessert in individual serving glasses, you can assemble it in a large tray and save some more time.

    It is a great “make ahead” dessert for busy festive days. You can assemble and store in the refrigerator for about 4 days.

    Serve it for Diwali, Holi, or other festivals and special occasions or as a dessert for your dinner parties or get-togethers.

    Ingredients

    For The Cream

    To make the rasmalai flavored cream, you will need heavy whipping cream, saffron strands, cardamom powder, rabdi, pistachios, and rasmalai essence (optional).

    I use non-dairy whipping cream as it’s easier to whip but you can use dairy cream as well.

    Make Rabdi at home using my easy recipe or buy it from a local mithaiwala.

    Sponge Cake

    You can either make one at home or use a store-bought cake.

    Rasmalai

    Make it from scratch using my Easy Rasmalai recipe at home or buy from an Indian mithai shop.

    Pistachios

    Use good quality pistachios. Grind them in a grinder to make a fine powder. You can also replace pistachio powder with almond powder too.

    Storage Suggestions

    Rasmalai Trifle will last for about 4 days in the refrigerator. So make it ahead of time, and store it in individual small jars with lids for busy festive days.

    If you are making everything from scratch, I would advise you to make all the elements 1-2 days in advance and assemble them on the day of the party or festival.
