Mishti Doi

Mishti doi is the iconic sweetened yogurt of Bengal, where milk is reduced, sweetened with caramelized sugar or date palm jaggery, and set with a yogurt culture into a thick, creamy, amber-colored dessert. The slow caramelization of sugar gives mishti doi its signature deep color and toffee-like sweetness. Traditionally set in small clay pots, this is the beloved dessert served after every significant Bengali meal.
