Thandai is a cold drink prepared with a mixture of almonds, fennel seeds, magaztari seeds, pepper, cardamom, saffron, milk, and sugar.
It is native to India and is often associated with Maha Shivaratri and Holi Festival. Thandai is refreshing to drink especially for summer which acts as a body coolant too.
I gave some twist to the regular thandai drink. I made Gulab Jamun in Thandai Mousse. The mousse is made with white chocolate and whipped cream. There is no egg or agar agar powder used in this recipe.
Make this Gulab Jamun In Thandai Mousse and surprise your guests.

Thank you for visiting and giving your feedback. Gulab Jamun In Thandai Mousse contains similar calories like majority of other Dessert. One may consume it in small portion if calorie conscious or diabetic but believe me its worth trying. Combination of Thandai Mousse and Gulab Jamun gives an awesome flavor and taste you would not want to miss out.

Hi, if I am using non-dairy sweetened whipping cream, should I alter the quantity of white chocolate used? I would like to use non dairy whipping cream for weather stability and it is only available pre sweetened. Thank you.
