Easy Mitha Dahi Recipe With Condensed Milk

The easiest recipe of Mishti Doi! Just 3 ingredients and five minutes to make this epic Bengali dessert! No boiling and cooling of milk, no starter to set the yogurt. Just stir only 3 ingredients and leave overnight to set!

This is one of the most popular Bengali desserts right alongside Rasgullas and Sandesh. The word Mishti means sweet and Doi means yogurt in Bengali, so the name of the dessert is simply Sweet Yogurt or Mishti Doi.

The traditional recipe requires boiling and thickening of the milk and then cooling it down and adding the 'starter' and leaving it overnight to set. This is one of the easiest recipes as all you need to do is mix only three ingredients and leave to set-no boiling and thickening of milk or adding any 'starter'.

I made this when I had some friends over at my house for dinner. I doubled the recipe and it was enough for 24-26 people. I have set it many times in my copper handis as well as regular oven safe casseroles.It sets well each time. This recipe has been shared by my friend Poulomi. Since we are both from Kolkata, we both appreciate and love Bengali desserts. My very popular Mango Mousse without eggs gelatin or agar agar is another recipe that was shared by her which is also a very easy stir and set kind of recipe. Some of my other very easy dessert recipes are-Mango Ice Cream-No Churn No Eggs, Kalakand- 3 Ingredient, One pan, Microwave Recipe, Badaam Ki Barfi with Almond Flour and Instant Shahi Tukra.

Prep Time 5 mins

Total Time 5 mins

16 oz./450 gms/2 cups Plain Yogurt Full fat preferred
1 14 oz/396 gms can Condensed milk
1 12 oz/354 ml can evaporated milk
1 tsp Rose water optional

Preheat oven to 450F
Mix all ingredients in a blender and blend till frothy on top
Pour the mix into oven safe small earthen clay pots,baking pan,copper pot or aluminum foil tray
Press CANCEL or TURN OFF the oven(this is very important) BEFORE putting the clay pot/baking pan/copper pot or aluminum foil tray into the oven
Leave overnight and do not open the oven
The yogurt should be set. Cover and chill before serving

It is very important to preheat oven and then to TURN IT OFF just before putting the baking dish into the oven. We are not baking the yogurt, just providing a warm place for the yogurt to set. If using small individual containers- place on two baking sheets and put them on the the topmost rack. Rose water is optional but it gives it a very authentic flavor.Covering the containers in the oven is not required.
