Malai Chop / Malai Chom Chom – Indian Milk Sweet Recipes

I have made a sandwich chum chum before. So when I came across this version of chom chom, I wanted to try it. There is so much confusion going on in the blogging world. For every recipe name, there are numerous variations and I guess mine will add to it. Lol! There was one recipe where the mali is served along with the chom chom making it look like rasmalai. And one version had whipped cream spread over the chom chom. Here is mine which is served out of the malai, but the chom chom would be dunked in the malai and would have absorbed the malai.

However you serve a Bengali milk sweet, they look fabulous. I can sit and watch the photo even for a whole day. After making so many sweets this month, one thing I have understood is even if the base recipe is the same if the shapes change the dish name also changes. Rasgollas are the base for numerous desserts but the final presentation decides the dish name. So here is one more variation of rasgolla and rasmalai. Whatever the name be, it tastes delicious.
