Bhapadoi is a staple dessert in Bengali weddings and special festivals. For Poila Boishak or during the family gatherings after Durga Pujo, this dessert seems absolutely perfect to serve! It is light & refreshing for your taste buds. I’ve tweaked the classic recipe a little bit and given it a French twist. A typically Bengali dense baked yogurt now has a crunchy brûlée top!
