In a fusion twist that has captured the internet’s attention, a video showcasing “Chocolate Rasgulla” is making waves online. This fusion dessert blends the beloved traditional Indian rasgulla with a hint of chocolate, presenting a surprising take on a classic. Known for its soft, milk-based composition, rasgulla is a popular dessert in India, especially during festive occasions. While variations like rasmalai and baked rasgulla have won over hearts before, this chocolate-infused version is causing a buzz.
The viral video titled “Making Chocolate Rasgulla” begins with the creator displaying a few containers of Cadbury Hot Chocolate. Next, large packets of milk are poured into a container, and the milk is then transferred to a large churning machine where it’s boiled. After boiling, the milk is filtered through a muslin cloth and transferred to a separate container. At this point, a curdling agent is added to form chhena, which is then kneaded until smooth.
In the final stages, chocolate powder is mixed with the chhena, which is then shaped into small balls. These chocolate-infused balls are carefully simmered in sugar syrup until they achieve a spongy texture. Once fully cooked, they’re placed into a fresh bowl of sugar syrup and allowed to cool. The end result? Chocolate Rasgullas that are as intriguing as they are innovative.
The creator has also shared details of where to find this sweet treat, tagging “Nathu Sweets” at Dubai Mall in Ghaziabad, India, where each Chocolate Rasgulla is priced at INR 20.
