Chocolate Sandesh Recipe is a fusion Indian sweet, made of homemade Indian cottage cheese, also known as chenna and combined with a rich milk chocolate. Sandesh is a popular Bengali dessert and this takes the festivities up a notch by adding a touch of chocolate to give it a rich and full-bodied texture. When making the sandesh, it is important to make the chenna (homemade paneer) extremely soft. If the chenna becomes rubbery then the sandesh will not have a melt in the mouth texture.

Serve the Chocolate Sandesh as a festive sweet for Diwali Sweets or Navratri Sweets or a special occasion in the family.
