cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: whipped topping

Greek yogurt is lower in fat and adds creaminess.

Take 8 slices of bread.

Use 500 ml of whole milk.

Add 3/4 cup sugar (or up to 1 cup if you prefer it sweeter).

Add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence.

Add 1-2 tablespoons of desiccated coconut.

Melt 4-5 tablespoons of ghee in a pan.

Fry the bread slices in ghee until crispy and golden brown on both sides.

In the same pan, add sugar and melt it over medium flame.

Mix 2 tablespoons of corn flour with a little water to make a slurry and add it to the melted sugar, stirring continuously.

Cook until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.

Mix in vanilla essence and 3-4 tablespoons of cream (or use 1/4 cup of mawa instead).

In a baking tray, layer the crispy bread slices.

Sprinkle some chopped dry fruits and desiccated coconut over the bread.

Pour the milk mixture over the bread, pressing down slightly to help it absorb.

Let it sit for 10 minutes to soak up the milk.

Reheat the milk mixture until thickened, then pour it over the bread again.

Let it cool and then refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
