If you’re craving an indulgent sweet treat that’s simple to make yet deliciously rich, these homemade Custard Malai Rolls are a perfect choice. Soft and creamy with a delicate custard layer and a light coconut coating, they make a delightful dessert for celebrations like Ganesh Chaturthi or any festive gathering.
To prepare this easy Custard Malai Roll, start by combining half a cup of chopped California pistachios with half a cup of milk. Mix a quarter cup of all-purpose flour with two tablespoons of corn flour and blend this into the milk mixture. For added flavour, you can include half a teaspoon of vanilla essence in the milk if you like. Cook this custard base on medium heat until it thickens nicely, then stir in a tablespoon of butter for extra richness.
Once cooked, pour the thickened custard onto a tray and allow it to cool for about 30 minutes. Once set, spread a thin layer of fresh cream evenly over the custard and let it chill for another 20 minutes to hold its shape. After this, sprinkle some desiccated coconut on top, cut the custard into strips, and gently roll each piece to form beautiful custard rolls. Garnish with extra chopped pistachios for crunch and colour.
These Custard Malai Rolls are creamy, nutty, and melt-in-your-mouth good — perfect to share with family and friends during special occasions. Try making this easy sweet at home and add a festive twist to your dessert table!
