Cheese desserts ranked by TasteAtlas.
TasteAtlas is an organisation that ranks the best foods in the world.
They recently released a list of the Top 25 Cheese Desserts in the World. India's Ras Malai got second place, while a Polish cheese dessert called Sernik was ranked first!
Ras Malai: Sounds delicious!
Ras Malai, or roshmalai, is a popular dessert in West Bengal. It is made using soft, fresh cheese called ‘chhena.’ It is very tasty!
The chhena is boiled in sugar syrup and then soaked in a cardamom-flavoured sweet milk syrup. This amazing dessert is served cold.
Is chhena really cheese?
Cheese is a milk product. There are various types of cheese worldwide, having different tastes and names. So, 'Chhena' can also refer to a type of cheese.
This is just like how paneer is known as Indian cottage cheese in English. Both cheese and chhena are, after all, made from milk.
