Grease your modak molds with a little ghee or butter to prevent sticking. Fill the greased molds with the Dulce De Leche modak mixture. Press it gently to ensure the perfect modak shape. Remove the excess mixture from the bottom and sides and carefully remove the modaks from the molds. Keep shaping modaks until all the mixture is used up.

Garnish with edible golden leaves (if using). Place modaks on a plate and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour to set. This chilling time helps the modaks hold their shape. Once set, serve the Dulce De Leche Modak as a prasad or as an after-meal dessert.
