Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 cups (960 ml) whole milk
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 2 tbsp fine brown sugar
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 8-10 Hershey's mini kisses
Instructions
- Bring the milk to a boil over medium heat. As it starts to bubble, add the vinegar and turn off the heat.
- Stir the mixture gently; the milk will curdle, and the cheese will separate from the liquid.
- Drain the liquid using a muslin cloth or fine sieve, and let the fresh paneer cool slightly.
- Once cool, knead the paneer with the brown sugar and cocoa powder until smooth and well combined.
- Shape the mixture into small discs or use molds for decorative shapes.
- Top each piece with a Hershey’s mini kiss for a chocolaty finish.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Sondesh is best consumed on the same day as it doesn’t keep well.
- For a more traditional touch, you can top it with chopped nuts or saffron threads instead of chocolate.
- If you don’t have Hershey’s mini kisses, you can use any small chocolate pieces.
- Ensure the paneer is kneaded well for a smooth texture.
