Notes:

  • I used homemade rasgullas to prepare rasmalai. You can also use store bought rasgullas.
  • Reserve the sugar syrup from rasgullas to prepare milk syrup for rasmalai.
  • Sweetness in sugar syrup is more than enough for this recipe, no need to add extra sugar.
  • Allow rasmalai to sit in refrigerator for atleast 30 mins before serving for perfect taste.
