Delightful, spongy Indian cheese balls soaked in a sweet, fragrant sugar syrup, rasgullas are a beloved dessert. Properly stored, these syrupy delights can maintain their delicious texture and flavor for optimal enjoyment.

Storage Time

3–5 days in the refrigerator, up to 1 month if properly sealed in the freezer.

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at 0–4°C (32–40°F) for optimal freshness.

Freezing

To freeze rasgullas, ensure they are completely cooled. Place them in an airtight container or a heavy-duty freezer bag, ensuring minimal air exposure. It's best to freeze them in their syrup to maintain moisture. Thaw them slowly in the refrigerator overnight. While freezing preserves safety, the texture may become slightly softer upon thawing, but the flavor remains excellent.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or fermented smell emanating from the syrup.
• A slimy or sticky texture on the rasgulla itself.
• Visible mold growth on the surface of the sweet or syrup.
• Cloudy or discolored syrup.
