  3. Add sugar, custard apple pulp, and cardamom powder to the pan, mixing well until fully combined.
  4. Transfer the phirni to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors and thicken.
  5. Press motichoor ladoos into a mold to form cup shapes, ensuring they hold securely.
  6. Pipe the chilled phirni into the ladoo cups, filling generously to create layers.
  7. Garnish with pistachio powder, pomegranate seeds, slivered pistachios, and optional gold foil.
