Cooking Steps
Method:
Step 1 :
Make custard by heating 2 cups of milk with 2 tbsp sugar. Separate ¼ cup warm milk and stir 2 tbsp of custard powder in it.
Step 2 :
Mix it into a smooth lump free mixture. Mix it into the heated milk and keep on stirring until the custard turns thick. Custard is ready.
Step 3 :
Now for making the custard kalakand, boil the milk on medium-high flame. Squeeze the lemon juice into the milk. Let the milk curdle. Stir it slowly.
Step 4 :
Take a muslin cloth, line it up in a pan and pour the curdled milk on it. Squeeze it by gathering together the four corners. Hang it for 30 minutes so that all the water drains out.
Step 5 :
Knead it nicely till the mixture becomes smooth. Now add custard powder and sugar to the paneer mixture.
Step 6 :
Spread this mixture in a baking tray and bake it in the preheated oven at 200°C for 20- 30 minutes. Baked custard Kalakand is ready.
Step 7 :
Heat a pan on medium flame and add coconut. Saute it continuously by adding jaggery. Add chopped dry fruits and mix properly. Switch off and keep aside.
Step 8 :
Make crunchy cornflour hearts from the dough. Take a small ball and flatten it with a roller pin.
Step 9 :
Cut long strips and put them in a greased heart-shaped mould. Bake at 180° for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
Step 10 :
Make two hearts. Colour one with red food colour and the other one with green.
Step 11 :
Take a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave cream or milk for 30 seconds, until simmering.
Step 12 :
Remove from the microwave and stir in chocolate until melted and smooth or you can make chocolate sauce in a double boiler by melting chocolate with milk.
Assemble:
Step 1 :
Now to assemble, first put the chocolate sauce in the middle of the plate. Then place the green colour cornflour heart on it.
Step 2 :
Fill it with custard, and top the custard with the coconut dry fruit filling and crumbled custard kalakand. Cut the baked custard kalakand into small squares and place it on the sides of the green cornflour heart.
Step 3 :
Adjacent to it, place a small spoon of custard. Place the red-coloured cornflour heart above the green one in a vertical position. Garnish it with tutti frutti and dry fruits. Enjoy!
