To prepare the base: Melt the butter in a pan, add the cookie crumbs and
sugar, and mix well. Divide into 10 portions. Put a portion in each of the
ten individual moulds, spread evenly and bake in the preheated oven at 375o
F for about ten minutes. Remove and cool.
Arrange the gulab jamun slices evenly over the cookie bases.
To prepare the custard: Heat milk over low heat in a pan, ensuring it does
not come to a boil, add the remaining ingredients and cook, stirring
constantly for five minutes. Remove and pour equal quantities of the
custard on the sliced gulab jamun.
Put the moulds in a preheated oven and bake at 375o F for 35 minutes. To
check if the custard is baked, insert a cooking needle. If it comes out
clean, remove. If not, bake for a few minutes more.
