About the Recipe

You can call it No-Bake Indian Cheesecake (though it needs some cooking) as this yummy kalakand is made with Indian Cottage Cheese, Mango Puree, White Chocolate and Thandai powder or cardamom powder traditional Mango Kalakand is served in tarts or crumble made with Parle-G .

What is Mango Kalakand

Kalakand is a traditional Indian dessert made with cooking milk with citric acid. The process is quite time consuming. There are ways to make this dessert at home. To make Instant Kalakand at home refer this quick and easy recipe from the blog.

In this post I am sharing variation of Kalakand with Mango. Make this Mango Kalakand and serve it different way, in tarts or with crumble made with your favorite Parle-G biscuits.

It's a fusion dessert which is quick and easy to make and you need just 4 ingredients to make. It takes only 10 minutes to cook, apart from setting and chilling time of 3-4 hrs.

How to make Mango Kalakand in Tarts

There are two parts of making this dessert, making parle g tarts or parle g crumble and making Mango Kalakand.

Parle G Tarts/Parle G Crumble

Tarts or the base is made with Parle-G one of the India's most popular biscuit or cookie commonly served with tea.

I love to have Parle-G with my morning tea. It can be also used as a base for many desserts. Parle-G biscuit Cake is one of the many popular recipes that one can make using these biscuits.

Making Tart Base(Stepwise pics)

Melt Butter
Transfer Parle -g to a food processor/grinder
Grind finely
Add butter
Add the base to a tart mold
Keep the leftover aside

Mango Kalakand

I made this version of Instant Mango Kalakand fresh Indian Cottage Cheese(Paneer), Condensed milk and White Chocolate. Flavored it with my homemade Thandai Powder that I love to use in Indian desserts. You can also use cardamom powder or nutmeg powder or skip any of these and simply use vanilla essence.

I have used canned Mango Puree here, you can use pureed fresh mangoes. Adjust sugar accordingly.

Serving Suggestions

To serve it in a simple way, serve Mango Kalakand in small shot glasses with biscuit base, top with mango kalakand and chopped nuts. Easy to serve at parties and gatherings.

You can make only Mango Kalakand without tarts or crumble, set it in a rectangular dish, cut in squares and serve.

Also, if you do not have these tart molds, then just spread the biscuit layer in a rectangular dish press it and chill it for a while, just like in tarts and then set kalakand on it. Cut in square pieces and serve.
