(Image 10) ✓ Crust & Coconut – First, prepare the crust and toast the coconut before making the cheesecake filling. Set aside. ✓ Whipped Cream – Do NOT overmix the heavy cream, or else it’ll turn into butter. Also, gently fold the whipped cream little by little into the cream cheese filling. ✓ Gulab Jamun – Once cooled, slice each gulab jamun into fours. If you do this when it’s hot/warm, it’ll fall apart. Place the inside of the gulab jamun towards the outside of the jar so you can see the layers. ✓ Best Results – Refrigerate the cheesecake jars for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight for the best results. This gulab jamun cheesecake tastes AMAZING the next day. → These Gulab Jamun Cheesecake Jars would pair well with a robust cup of English tea or even Masala Chai if you prefer.
