Phirni Crème Brûlée

By Chef Vikas Khanna

Preparation Time: 1 hour 45 minutes (includes cooking and chilling time).
Serves: 4-6

This delightful Phirni Crème Brûlée is a luxurious twist on traditional rice kheer, infused with aromatic rose petals, cardamom, and saffron, then topped with caramelized sugar for a crème brûlée effect. Perfectly rich, creamy, and fragrant, it’s an irresistible dessert that can be enjoyed warm or chilled.

Ingredients
• 1/4 cup rice, washed, rinsed, and soaked for 30 minutes
• 2 tablespoons ghee
• 1 litre whole milk
• 5-6 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
• 2 tablespoons rose petals
• 1 teaspoon saffron
• 10 tablespoons sugar, divided
• 1/4 – 1/2 cup cream (or half & half)
• Almonds for garnish

Preparation

  1. Cook Rice in Ghee
    • Heat ghee in a heavy-bottom pan over medium heat.
    • Add the soaked rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  2. Add Milk and Cook Rice
    • Pour in the milk and bring it to a boil.
    • Reduce the heat to low and cook until the rice becomes mushy, around 12-15 minutes.
  3. Infuse Flavors
    • Lightly crush the cardamom, saffron, rose petals, and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
    • Add this mixture to the rice and stir well.
  4. Sweeten and Simmer
    • Add 3 more tablespoons of sugar.
    • Mix and continue to cook on low heat, maintaining a gentle simmer for about an hour.
    • Stir occasionally with a rubber spatula to prevent sticking.
  5. Add Cream and Final Reduction
    • Once the kheer thickens and reduces significantly, add 1/4 cup cream.
    • Continue cooking until the desired creamy consistency is reached.
  6. Cool and Chill
    • Transfer the kheer to a serving dish.
    • Allow it to cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator.
  7. Caramelize Sugar
    • Just before serving, sprinkle the remaining sugar evenly over the kheer.
    • Caramelize using a kitchen blow torch until golden brown.
  8. Garnish and Serve
    • Garnish with sliced almonds.
    • Serve warm or chilled.
