Ingredients
Heavy cream: Use any brand of heavy whipping cream. Instead of cream, you can even use Greek yogurt or custard. Rabdi: Homemade rabdi or store-bought rabdi. Gulab Jamun: Homemade milk powder gulab jamun or store-bought jamus. Pistachios and rose petals. Check out the recipe card for the full list of the ingredients.
Step-by-step instructions
Chop the gulab jamun into bite-size pieces and discard the syrup. Whip the cream with sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks are formed. Pour the cream into a piping bag fitted with a nozzle.
Add a few pieces of gulab jamun in serving glasses, followed by 2 tablespoon of rabdi, and then pipe some whipping cream and garnish with nuts and rose petals. Repeat this again: gulab jamun->rabdi>whipping cream, and finally, garnish with a piece of gulab jamun, nuts, and rose petals. Chill for a few hours before serving.
Tips
The amount of jamuns, rabdi, and whipped cream you add will vary based on the size of the serving jars. This fusion jamun parfait dessert tastes best when served chilled. So you can also prepare it a day in advance and refrigerate it. I have added homemade rabdi followed by whipped cream. You can directly add rabdi while preparing the whipped cream. Instead of individual-sized servings, you can also layer them in a baking tray for larger crowds.
