Preparation Steps
  1. Start by washing the rice, then soak it in water for 20 minutes. Drain the rice and blend it with 2 cups of whole milk until smooth.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the remaining 2 cups of milk over medium heat until it simmers. Add the rice paste, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for 10-15 minutes until thick.
  3. Once thickened, stir in sugar, custard apple pulp, and cardamom powder until well combined.
  4. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Press the motichoor ladoos into cup molds to form hollow shapes. Let them set aside.
  6. Spoon the chilled phirni into the ladoo cups.
  7. Garnish with pistachio powder, slivered pistachios, pomegranate seeds, and gold foil if desired.
  8. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
