To begin making the Chocolate Cheese Gujiya Recipe, we will first make the make the filling.
In a large mixing bowl combine the coconut, chocolate chips, red chilli powder, and stir well to combine. Keep aside.
The next step is to make the dough for pastry crust for the Gujiya.
Combine the maida, ghee and salt, in a large bowl. Work the ghee into the flour with your fingers until the mixture resembles a coarse crumble texture.

Shape them into small round balls. Dust them in flour, roll them into small 3 inch circles.
Place it in the gujiya mold, spoon in the chocolate cheese filling.
Gently fold into a semi circle, forming a half moon shape. Seal the edges by pressing slightly, so that the dough sticks to each other making sure all the filling is concealed inside.
Prepare the gujiyas and arrange them on a plate or a tray. Cover the gujiyas with a moist napkin so that the dough does not dry out.
Preheat the oil for deep frying the gujiyas.
The way to test if the oil has the right heat, is to drop in a little dough inside the oil and if it sizzles and comes up immediately, then you know you can start frying the Chocolate Cheese Gujiya.
