I made this this afternoon (meant to make it last night as had for dinner tonight) anyhow, it didn’t have a runny consistency once I added all ingredients, so I added a splash of milk to loosen it off and then followed all the instructions except…. we ate it within 5 hours, still delicious, I managed to save a few squares so I can try it tomorrow and see how it should really be. Banging recipe I’ll definitely try this or one of the other variations again. Thank you 🙂

Hi Ashley,
I am allergic to all dairy so am wondering if I can use coconut condensed milk and coconut flour (1/2 cup) to make this dessert or any other of your milk desserts?

Hi. I just made this for my son and for my daughter-in-law, (who is from Southern India). Lunch included this milk cake, your green bean thoran (big hit) and also your lazy tikki (also a big hit). They left just now, back to Toronto, but I forgot to include this milk cake in their care package–they are both extremely career oriented so don’t cook much….well “Hello Fresh” a few times a week, a lot of take out otherwise.
Megha’s parents are visiting from India in September, I’m planning planning a big banquet one Saturday afternoon in honour.
Question–do you think this milk cake would freeze okay? They both loved it.

I’ve made this twice now, first time didn’t set but I knew I’d used too much ricotta,. Next time I measured carefully and it’s set a lot better but still not enough to set. I’ve read your other comments and will try sautéing. I’m in Aus so my ricotta brand is different, will keep trying to get it to set, but it still gets eaten lol!

Thank you so much for the recipe . I really appreciate your generosity in sharing this. Made it this diwali (my first time making a diwali sweet dish) and it was a hit! Will definitely become a part of our future family Diwali tradition!

In reply to Ashley - My Heart Beets. Thanks for your prompt response! I did put it on sauté for a few minutes but it started getting brown from the bottom. I also left it in the refrigerator for a while day. I think next time I will sauté it separately or try another brand of ricotta cheese.

In reply to Yamini.

Hi Yamini, I’m not sure why it’s turning brown – are you mixing it well before you pressure cook? Is the silicone ring on properly? Maybe the brand of ricotta you’re using has less water? I would try adding 2 tablespoons more water and see if that helps. If it’s liquidy at the end, you can always saute it for a minute to dry up any extra liquid.
