Gulab Jamun Cheesecake
About 7 years, a move to Atlanta and two kids later... I’m back! (temporarily). I created this Gulab Jamun Cheesecake recipe to serve at a few Diwali events this year. I seem to always be looking for ways to combine the east and the west in my life just as I have found my balance as a fusion person. Well this time, it turned out to be a hit! I’ve been asked for the recipe by loads of my friends... so much so that I dusted off my password and logged back into this blog after 7 years. By the way, I love that they are individually portioned. Time: about 90 minutes (mostly baking time), Makes 36 normal sized cupcakes or 72 mini sized cupcakes Calories/Serving: you only live once Ingredients For the crust 2 cups crushed gram crackers 3 tbsp sugar 6 tbsp melted butter For the filling 32 oz cream cheese 1 cup sour cream 3 eggs 1/2 cup sugar 2 tsp vanilla 2 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp orange extract (optional but recommended) 1 tsp powdered elichi 36 gulab jamuns
