Baked Rosogolla! O_o

My tryst with Bengali mishti(sweets) has always been bitter sweet. O___O But when I heard from a friend that Baked Rosogollas are apparently a thing, I had to try it out. I have to say, it tasted absolutely marvelous! Thanks to a particular friend who parted with this recipe. ;) Although, I feel, this post might be upsetting a lot of mishti purists and peeving a few of my readers with no access to Roshogolla. My sincere and heartfelt Apologies! :P As for the rest, what are you waiting for? 

Ingredients

1) 10 Rosogollas.
2) 1 tbsp Corn starch
3) 1/4 cup Sugar
4) Few Strands of Saffron
5) 1 tbsp Crushed Cardamom
6) Various nuts( I used walnut and cashew)
7) Cold Water
8) 1/2 liter Milk+ 1/4 cup lukewarm milk.

Recipe

1) Squeeze the sugar syrup out of the Rosogollas and soak in cold water for 10-15 mins.
2) Soak Saffron Strands in 1/4 cup lukewarm milk.
3) Take half a liter of Milk in a pan and reduce to half. Add the sugar and Cardamom. Mix well! Add the saffron soaked milk to this mix.
4) Add corn starch to some cold milk. Add this to the above mixture until it has a thick custard like consistency. Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool down. It will thicken a little bit more.
5) In a baking dish, pour half the milk mixture. Layer the Rosogollas and the nuts and pour in the rest of the milk mixture.
6) Bake in a preheated oven(200 C) for 20 mins or until the top layer becomes a little golden brown. Chill in the refrigerator and serve cold. Num num num num!
