Bread Rasmalai - Kesar Rasmalai, Quick and Easy Dessert Recipe

Rasmalai, a bengali delicacy made with fresh cottage cheese, cooked in sugar syrup, then dunked in sweetened milk and served. Today's recipe Bread Rasmalai, is a cheat version of this rich and divine dessert. Kheer is made and then while serving, bread slices are cut into roundels, dunked in kheer, rested for 5 minutes and served! I wouldn't compare it to the richness of real rasmalai, but this is, way too delicious and pretty looking for half the time and effort it takes than the original version.
