on Oct 21, 2024 I’m not even biased when I say that this Orange Kalakand is the best way to eat this classic festive sweet! It’s just THAT good! I’ve been on orange kick lately as you can tell with my Orange Makhana Pudding – and for good reason! Zesty orange is the perfect pairing for a creamy Desi sweet, and this Orange Kalakand is my latest obsession! We layer together a creamy kalakand mixture with a fresh and punchy orange syrup and top it all off with some orange segments and pista. Not only does this make the sweet look gorgeous, but also makes sure that every bite of this Orange Kalakand is a perfect bite! I think this is such a perfect sweet to make if you’re hosting for Diwali this year, because you can prepare a shot glass for each guest and pass them around come dessert time (although if I were you, I’d make extras! 😉). It’s a totally fuss-free dessert, and I just know you’re going to love it.
Ingredients Overview
The base of any kalakand is some soft, homemade paneer (chhena). We combine this on the stove with some condensed milk, milk powder, and sugar to make the kalakand mixture. For the orange syrup, we heat together some orange juice and sugar and then pour it on top of the kalakand mixture and begin layering the dessert. To top off, we add some fresh orange segments and chopped pista. I love that this recipe is made using simple ingredients and has no food coloring or artificial flavoring agents! This Orange Kalakand is going to be a hit at every Diwali party it’s served at! Soft, creamy, zesty – all the right things!
