Baked Kesari Sandesh with Sugar Free Diet Sugar

Chini kum hain, chini kum hain thodi thodi tujhme hain kum Kum kum ….Humdum!

I didn’t find anything but this amazing Hindi song to start this post meant for a sweet with no added Sugar! We can sing a song to try to change a person who is typical Chini Kum type (with no sweetness within) but is it possible to have a dessert without sweetness! Why not! Just skip sugar and add some Sugar Free Sugar to it and you will have the dessert with no Sugar like I have my Baked Kesari Sandesh! There are many reason for which we intentionally skip sweet content be it the problem of having diabetes or just to cut unwanted calories. However, it is sometimes really pathetic to skip sweet dishes especially for Indians who are born to grab Rasgulla, Halwa, Barfi, Sandesh etc etc etc. Though it is not at all uncommon to substitute sugar with artificial sweeteners for making sweet dishes but availability in terms of verity of Desserts is still less in our country. Now you may ask why I am writing about artificial sweeteners! My dear reader, I somehow not realised that I have not posted a single dessert using artificial sweetener here though I often use it in my kitchen. However, I have a preference of brand when it comes to artificial a sweetener which is nothing but Sugar Free and especially Sugar Free Natura’s Diet Sugar which can be used just like Sugar in any dessert; you can sprinkle it like powdered sugar, you can use it in baked goodies. When I saw the Sugar Free Dessert Challenge organised by “Sugar Free” in collaboration with  #Indiblogger, I could not resist myself to make  a dessert without  Sugar and ended on a rich Baked Kesari Sandesh or Bhapa Kesari Sandesh with the dose of Sugar Free Natura Diet Sugar. I mostly prepare Baked Sandesh by combining Chana/ Paneer and Condensed Milk but I have given a twist to the Baked Kesari Sandesh by adding Fresh Cream and Khowa (Solidified Milk) and then to flavour it with Kesar or Zafran. Initially I was not sure with Khowa and was thinking it may change the typical taste that can be expected from a Baked Sandesh but when I finally completed the baking and had a piece of the Baked Kesari Sandesh; it was nothing but heaven. I am really happy with the taste, richness and softness of this Sandesh prepared without Sugar. It proves that it is not at all a Chini Kum Sandesh but a Sandesh with Diet Chini! Print Have a happy and guilt free eating with "Humdum... Chini Kum" 😛 😀
