Gulab Jamun Milkshake

Gulab Jamun is the dessert that ends every Indian celebration. "Gulab" means rose, "jamun" is a dark berry — the name refers to the colour and shape of these soft, spongy dough balls made from khoya (reduced milk solids) that are deep-fried and then soaked in rose-flavoured sugar syrup until they become deeply sweet, tender, and fragrant throughout. They're served warm at celebrations and family dinners across the subcontinent. We take them — syrup and all — and blend them into a thick milkshake with whole milk. The result is extraordinarily indulgent: creamy, sweet, with that unmistakable rose and cardamom fragrance of gulab jamun. Dessert in a glass.
