Instructions
 

Prepare the Chocolate Jaggery Mixture

  • Melt the jaggery in a saucepan over low heat. Separately, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Combine the melted jaggery and chocolate, stirring until well combined.

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, coconut milk, condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth and creamy.

Combine and Bake

  • Once the chocolate-jaggery mixture is slightly cooled but still warm, gently pour it into the yogurt mixture. Whisk until thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Bake in a Bain-Marie

  • Pour the mixture into individual oven-safe bowls or ramekins. Place the bowls in a baking dish. Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the bowls (a bain-marie).

Finish Baking and Cooling

  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly firm. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely to room temperature.

Chill and Serve

  • Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set completely before serving. Enjoy chilled!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Baked Chocolate Mishti Doi

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the richest flavor. Milk chocolate can also be used for a milder taste.
  • For a smoother texture, strain the yogurt before mixing it with other ingredients. This will remove any lumps.
  • Adjust the amount of condensed milk according to your preference. If using homemade condensed milk, start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.
  • Don't overbake the Mishti Doi. Overbaking can result in a dry texture. Check for doneness by gently inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
