Recipe 📖
They are usually made from thickened milk (paneer/khoya/mawa) or chhena, which is mixed with sugar and other flavoring agents. It’s normally white in color but now there are many varieties of Sandesh that use different flavoring ingredients that make it colorful. You can make this easy no-bake dessert and that too in different colors! I always have rose syrup and essence in my kitchen. This way, I can cook something up impromptu when the craving hits. Looking at the collection of recipes here with rose flavor in them, no one can deny my obsession with it. Raspberry Rose Hot Chocolate, Rose Coconut Ladoo, Rose Ladoo, Rose Basundi, Rose Lemonade, and Rose Gulkand Ice Cream are just some of my favorite recipes that you can make in rose flavor. Sometimes we don’t even need an excuse to eat something sweet! That’s why all our regional cuisines have a plethora of dessert recipes and most of them are made from milk and milk products. I have tried to include some desserts from each Indian region on my blog. There’s Paal Payasam from the south, Shrikhand from the west, Jhajhariya from the north, and now Rose Sandesh from the East of India!

Rose syrup - I have used Rooh Afza in this recipe but you can use any rose syrup available to you. I always keep a bottle handy in my pantry because it’s so good! You can also add pure rose essence or extract and/or gulkand in addition if needed. Sugar - I prefer white powdered sugar for this recipe. Powdered sugar blends well with the paneer. Cardamom - Indian desserts are incomplete without the hint of cardamom flavor. Just a pinch goes a long way. Nuts - Feel free to use any kind of nuts for garnish. Besides the ingredients, you just need a grater, mixing bowl, and a mixer grinder to make this easy no-bake, no-cook dessert. You can also garnish them with dried rose petals to make this Rose Sandesh mithai look even more visually appealing. Refrigerate it for 30 minutes and then serve this easy no-bake dessert! The texture of this Rose Sandesh is so smooth and soft that it will melt in your mouth immediately, not to mention the tantalizing aroma of rose that will make your tastebuds tingle! Serve this easy Indian dessert at your next house party, or on a festive occasion like Holi, Diwali, Valentine’s Day, Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Baby Shower, Birthdays, or Anniversaries. They also make great gifts for the holidays. In case you are looking for more dessert recipes for Holi, check out this roundup post. While I have not tried it, but Ricotta cheese is a great substitute for paneer because of its similarity in texture. You will need to cook it with condensed milk, sugar, and cardamom to get the desired consistency. If you don’t want to use rose syrup but still want this beautiful color, you can add beetroot juice/powder or organic pink food color.
