Use thin vermicelli for making the vermicelli cups. Break then into small pieces.
Heat a pan with butter and let it melt.
Next add the thin vermicelli and sauté them in a very low flame for 5 mins.
Next add cardamom powder.
And then add condensed milk. Combine everything and keep cooking in low flame.
Cook for another 5 mins. The mixture gets thick and comes together switch off at this stage. Make sure you keep stirring else it might get burnt easily. Switch off and let it cool for few mins.
Line a muffin tray with cup cake liner. Scoop a small portion of vermicelli and then spread over the cupcake liner. It resembles the shape of a cup.
Freeze this for 30 mins and then remove from fridge. Remove the cup cake liner gently and the vermicelli cups are now ready.
Top the vermicelli cups with your favourite dessert and serve. I topped with rabdi.
Notes
Always use thin variety vermicelli for making the dessert cups.
Makes a fantastic showstopper dessert.
Serve the cups as soon as possible once they are out of the refrigerator.
Keeping them outside for a longer time ,tends to loosen the cup a bit.
You can also bake the cups to keep them firm.
Bake at 180 C / 356 F for 7-10 mins in a preheated oven.
