Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium pot, combine water, milk powder, and white granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir continuously for about 10 to 15 minutes until the mixture thickens and bubbles gently.
  2. In a separate bowl, create a slurry with corn flour and a splash of full-fat milk, then slowly stir this into the pot.
  3. Once combined, add cardamom powder, remove from heat, and let the custard cool completely.
  4. Take fresh or day-old croissants and carefully slice them in half horizontally. Lightly soak each half in the cooled Rabdi custard.
  5. Generously fill the croissant halves with the rich Rabdi custard, letting it spill slightly for a beautiful presentation.
  6. Top each croissant with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
  7. Refrigerate the assembled Shahi Tukda Croissants for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld.
