Instant Rabri from Ricotta Cheese/Instant Rabri in oven-An easy dump, stir and bake recipe of Rabri using Ricotta cheese. Its hands free cooking as the Rabri pretty much cooks by itself in the oven. Ricotta cheese provides the granular/daanedaar texture to the Rabri.
This Instant Rabri from Ricotta cheese recipe was shared by my friend and food enthusiast Anu Mallick Tatini. My blog brought us together as she loves to try new recipes and has often shared her feedback of my recipes with pictures. She has been kind enough to share many of her tried and tested recipes with me, including this Rabri recipe which she said was a huge hit with her friends.
I am always looking for quick, easy, hassle free recipes and this Instant Ricotta cheese Rabri in the oven recipe seemed to fit the bill. Its hands free cooking and requires no babysitting like the traditional method which requires hours on the stovetop and the constant fear of milk burning or spilling all over the stove. I have an easy microwave recipe of Instant Rabri which requires only 4 ingredients and 4 minutes. Many of my readers had asked for an Instant non microwave version of the Rabri recipe. This recipe is easy, has only 3 ingredients, right amount of sweetness and texture and is made easily in an oven. All it requires if a few stirs every 10-15 minutes!

1 measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz/425 gms container of Ricotta Cheese Full fat

-
In a 2.2 quart rectangular glass/pyrex/oven safe dish, mix Ricotta cheese, condensed milk,half of the Half and Half(8 oz/225 gms) till smooth. If you are using Rose essence, add that as well. I used Rose water which I added in the end
-
Bake for 15 minutes, stir and bake again for 10 minutes, stir and bake again for 10 minutes
-
At this point it should start looking like Rabri with few solid pieces. Bake for few more minutes if needed, ovens vary.
-
During the last 15 minutes of baking, warm the rest of the half and half(8 oz/225 gms) in microwave for 1-2 minutes and add saffron and set aside
-
Once we get the baking dish out of the oven, in about 35-45 minutes stir the Rabri mixture and add the rest of the half and half(with saffron) and rose water.Let it cool
-
Rabri will thicken a bit after cooling.If you feel its too thick or if you prefer it a bit on the thin side, add some cold milk
-
Serve topped with nuts and saffron
Notes
Here is the step by step pictorial recipe-
Ingredients
Preheat oven to 350F
Mix Ricotta cheese, condensed milk,half of the Half and Half(8 oz/225 gms) till smooth.
If you are using Rose essence, add that as well. I used Rose water which I added in the end
After 15 minutes in the oven, stir
The below picture is after 30 minutes, stir again
If you must bake more than 30-35 minutes, cover with a foil and keep open from one side to vent
For me 35 minutes was enough to get the right amount of texture. The edge of the dish should be light brown.
Only cook further if needed
During the last 15 minutes, warm the rest of the half and half(8 oz/225 gms) in microwave for 1-2 minutes and add saffron and set aside
Take out Rabri from oven, add the saffron infused remaining Half and Half
Add rose water
Mix well and cool. Once cool place in the refrigerator to chill
You can need add some cold milk to make Rabri thinner, as per preference
Garnish with nuts, saffron and rose petals
