No-bake Coconut Rose Cheesecake Pudding

A super easy and delicious NO BAKE cheesecake pudding that takes its inspiration from the Indian sweet ‘Kalakand’. Tropical, sweet and somewhat nutty coconut with floral rose and aromatic cardamom combined together in this easy Coconut Rose Cheesecake Pudding. Perfect for the festive season.

‘Kalakand’ is a sweet milk and cheese dessert popular in Northern and Eastern parts of India. This Coconut Rose Cheesecake Pudding is inspired by Coconut and Rose Kalakand that is infused with flavours of Coconut and Rose and makes a delicious treat for the festive season.

Ingredients for the delicious Cheesecake Pudding cups

This recipe doesn’t is a NO BAKE. You can simply mix some ingredients and have this ready in no time. All you need is some –

• Cream Cheese – This is the base to the recipe. I’ve used homemade cream cheese to make this pudding. You could use store bought cream cheese. Since the recipe is inspired by the Indian Sweet Kalakand, cream cheese becomes an important ingredient for similar taste.
• Coconut cream – Incase of no Coconut cream, you can also use 200g fresh cream with 50g coconut milk powder. I don’t recommend using Coconut milk since that will make the pudding very liquid.
• Condensed Milk – For sweetness and smooth pudding texture.
• Cardamom –  Its a star in almost all Indian Sweets and adds warmth.
• Rose Water – Adds delicate floral aroma to the pudding.
• Lemon Juice – Adds a bright and citrusy flavor to all sweet.
• PATIENCE – After every thing is mixed and poured into cups. Patience is all you need!! The recipe needs to chill for at least 2 hours to be able to set well.

Storing

Store the cheesecake pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve as required.
