How to Make Dessert Mishti Dohi An Indian Style Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup whole milk, 1 cup plain yogurt, and 2 large eggs until smooth and well combined.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 8-inch glass baking dish or ramekins.
  5. Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish (this creates a water bath for even baking).
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the Mishti Dohi is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely to room temperature.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set completely.
  9. Before serving, crush graham crackers into crumbs. Serve chilled Mishti Dohi topped with the graham cracker crumbs for an added textural element and delightful crunch.
