So we thought we’d bring a bit of the East (specifically, saffron!) to our Western desserts and explore the unique fragrance and flavour of saffron.

Rasmalai Cake

The Rasmalai is a beloved Indian mithai – soft, spongy, and soaked in luscious saffron cream. We’ve tried to bring the flavours of the rasmalai to a western dessert one can never say no to – cake!

Our Rasmalai Cake is a layered cake that emulates the flavours of the rasmalai. The addition of saffron enhances the flavours of the rasmalai in the cake and gives the cake its vibrant yellow colour.

It’s a treat every dessert-lover would enjoy, especially if you’re a fan of rasmalai and cake (like we are). Or, if you’re not a big fan of cake and prefer desserts suited to the Indian palate, this fusion of East and West is just the thing to test the waters and explore foods outside your comfort zone.

Gulab Jamun Cheesecake

You may not find saffron in your regular cheesecake, but you do find it in the mouthwatering Indian gulab jamun. Saffron is added to the sugar syrup drizzled over the gulab jamun to impart its unique flavour and aroma to the Indian sweet.

With the Gulab Jamun Cheesecake, we have combined the rich flavour of the saffron, the soft, doughy texture of the sweet gulab jamun, and the creamy texture of the cheesecake to make a decadent dessert that will have you going for seconds.

Visit our website to try your hand at the Gulab Jamun Cheesecake. It’s an excellent fusion dessert to whip up at dinner parties.
