I am sure that Ras malai will find its place in the world’s top 10 non-vegan desserts. Made out of cream, milk, cheese,etc, etc. I was pretty sure that I wouldn’t be able to veganize this. But clearly, I was wrong! It turned out AMAZING. Note: You need to make the cream sauce a day before for the flavors to marry properly!
