About

It is an excellent steamed cheese cake recipe prepared by boiling the sweetened yoghurt or flavoured curd. Bhapa Doi is an extension to the popular Bengali dessert mishti doi, which is cooked. It can be a perfect classical dessert recipe that can be served to all age groups including much appreciated by kids. In addition, it can be a better alternative to the traditional cheesecake and thus offers a much healthier and tastier dessert recipe. This flavoured and straightforward dessert recipe can be prepared in many different ways. Typically, Bhapa Doi is ready by steaming sweetened yoghurt. However, this can be extended by adding additional flavours to the yoghurt. One of the typical flavoured yoghurt cheesecakes is mango. However, it can be further expanded with other exotic fruits like strawberries, blackberries, and grapes. In addition, it can also be prepared with vanilla or chocolate-flavoured Bhapa doi.

Notes

  • Firstly, use thick curd; otherwise, you end up with less hung curd, and the dessert will not be creamy.
  • Also, use sweet mangoes to avoid adding more condensed milk.
  • Additionally, if you have access to hung curd or Greek yoghurt, then you can use it directly.
  • Finally, Mango Bhappa Doi Recipe tastes great when served chilled.
