Ras malai or rossomalai is a dessert originating from the eastern regions of the Indian subcontinent , possibly Bengal . The name ras malai is the Hindi cognate of Bengali: rosh, meaning "juice", and molai , meaning "cream". It has been described as "a rich cheesecake without a crust".

This is pasted from my Google search. I am of Indian origin but could not describe it better.

The Bengali sweets are amazing and there is a huge selection at any good Indian sweet store. The other popular sweets in this class are rasgulla, ras malai, malai sandwich ( not really a sandwich ) and many more.

Unfortunately the Costco one is not the best for this desert.

And so long as we are talking about Asian-style desserts at Costco...a Pakistani friend turned me on to the southeast Asian-style popsicles that Costco sells. These are super delicious, especially the one that tastes like chai.

Kulfi.

They are so good! But they are South Asian.

Which Costco has them?

I’ve seen them at Wheaton and Gaithersburg and possibly largo and arundel too.

Having opened the box, I see that is not what this is.

I did a quick google and it looks like it's more like dessert soup? So I just portion it out into bowls? And there is doughnut type things floating inside?

So the liquid thing is milk/cream based, and you take a little bit with each bite of the spongy solid thing ( using a desert spoon). The problem with the frozen Costco desert ( because normally it is not eaten frozen or served frozen) is that it needs to be thawed until slightly cool or room temp.

Also, I would recommend freshly made ras malai ( regular is much better than mango, imo)at a good Indian sweets store or even a good restaurant.

The malai is a spongy round thing made from cheese. Because it's porous, it absorbs some of the sauce (that is the ras) and its flavor.

It's honestly not my favorite dessert, but a lot of people really like it.

Chantilly Costco. My quick google search said that Sterling also carries it.

Thanks 17:03!
