OMG this was so sweet! I loved it but maybe less sugar next time?
Nah, I think it’s perfect as is! The sweetness really makes it special! Just my opinion though.
I totally agree! It was a bit too sweet for my taste as well. Next time, I’ll try to cut down on the sugar!
Kheer is a classic! Made this recipe with my kids, they had fun!
Too many nuts! 😒 I just wanted the kheer to be smooth.
Easy and quick! I made it in like an hour, perfect dessert!
I didn’t have cardamom so I used cinnamon. Kind of a fail but okay.
This recipe is missing somethin… maybe more sugar? I didn’t enjoy it.
This kheer is sooo delicious! Made it for Diwali and everyone loved it! 💖
Yum! But I used almond milk instead and it didn’t taste the same.
Almond milk is a bit different, but it’s still good! Just takes some getting used to, I guess.
I followed the recipe but it turned out super thick. Do I add more milk next time?
