Mishti Doi
Mishti Doi is an iconic dessert from the Indian region of Bengala that is soft and sweet and fresh, made completely 100% plant-based! Made from vegetable milk that is slowly cooked until thick, sweetened with palm sugar, then slowly fermented until the texture is soft and dense like pudding with a soft sweet taste and With a hint of natural, refreshing sourness, this dish is truly special because it maintains its authentic, soothing flavor, without cow's milk or animal products. And served in a traditional way in a clay container which gives it a unique, distinctive aroma. Very delicious when eaten cold, with a sprinkling of chopped nuts.
