Strawberry Doi is a delicious twist on traditional Bengali mishti doi. This creamy dessert combines the richness of thickened milk and yogurt with the fresh, slightly tangy sweetness of strawberries. Its beautiful pink colour and smooth texture make it perfect for festive occasions, family gatherings or a simple after-meal treat.
Ingredients
500 ml full-fat milk
1 cup fresh strawberries
4–5 tbsp sugar, or as per taste
1 cup thick fresh curd/yogurt
2 tbsp milk powder
1/2 tsp vanilla essence, optional
1–2 tbsp chopped strawberries for garnish
Method
Prepare the strawberry puree: Wash the strawberries well, remove the green tops and blend them into a smooth puree. Keep aside.
Reduce the milk: Pour the milk into a heavy-bottomed pan and bring it to a boil. Lower the flame and simmer until the milk reduces slightly.
Add milk powder: Mix the milk powder with a few tablespoons of warm milk separately to avoid lumps. Add it to the pan and stir continuously.
Sweeten the mixture: Add sugar and cook for another 3–4 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the milk mixture to cool until it becomes lukewarm.
Prepare the yogurt: Whisk the thick curd until smooth and creamy.
Combine: Add the strawberry puree and vanilla essence to the lukewarm milk. Mix well. Once the mixture is no longer hot, gently fold in the whisked curd.
Set the doi: Pour the mixture into small glass bowls or earthen pots. Cover and leave them undisturbed in a warm place for around 5–6 hours, or until firmly set.
Chill and serve: Refrigerate the Strawberry Doi for at least 1–2 hours before serving. Garnish with chopped strawberries.
Tips for Perfect Strawberry Doi
Use thick, full-fat curd for a creamy consistency.
Do not add curd while the milk is hot, as excessive heat can affect setting.
Choose ripe strawberries for a naturally sweet and fragrant flavour.
For a richer dessert, use an earthen pot for setting.

If your strawberries are very sour, increase the sugar slightly.
Always refrigerate the set doi before serving for the best texture.
Serving Suggestion
Serve Strawberry Doi chilled in individual glass bowls or traditional earthen pots. A few fresh strawberry pieces on top can make the dessert look especially attractive.
