Chocolate Stuffed Gulab Jamun Recipe with Instant Mix

Chocolate Stuffed Gulab Jamun with instant Mix – Super easy and delicious fusion dessert recipe

What is chocolate gulab jamun?

Gulab Jamun is a traditional Indian dessert, which is deep-fried khoya (milk solid) dumplings soaked in cardamom-infused sugar syrup. Chocolate gulab jamun is a fusion and innovative variation that is made with instant gulab jamun mix and stuffed with chocolate chips. I have made this without khoya but you can also follow the traditional way and stuff them with chocolate chips.

Can I use dark chocolate instead of chocolate chips?

Yes, dark chocolate would work well. Just stuff the dough balls with a small piece of dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate.

How long can I store them?

They keep well at room temperature for 2-3 days. If you want to store them for a longer period, store in the refrigerator for a week.

How to make gulab jamuns without breaking?

Gulab jamuns break for many people especially when they make with instant mixes. Follow the below tips to make them perfect every time.

• The dough should be soft and smooth.

• Roll the dough balls without any crackers. They should be smooth on top.

• Always deep fry them over a low flame until they become dark brown color.

• If you fry them to a golden brown color, they will break after adding to the syrup.

• The sugar syrup ratio is very important. Jamuns will be too soft and mashed if you add more water than needed. The perfect water and sugar ratio is 1:1

Serving Suggestions:

Serve them chilled or warm with a scoop of ice cream. Ice cream is completely optional but some people like that combination.

They are perfect to serve on during festivals such as Holi, Diwali, Rakhi or any occasion.
