Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Ghee
- 0.5 cup Granular erythritol
- 1.5 cups Water
- 3 Cardamom pods
- 10 strands Saffron strands (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Almonds, sliced
Instructions
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the ghee.
Once the ghee has melted, add the almond flour to the pan and roast it for 5-7 minutes, stirring continuously until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma.
Crush the cardamom pods to release the seeds and discard the outer pod shells. Add the seeds to the pan.
Slowly add the water to the almond flour mixture, stirring continuously to prevent the formation of lumps.
Add the granular erythritol to the mixture and stir well until it dissolves completely. Increase the heat to medium-high.
If using, add saffron strands to the mixture and stir them in. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture thickens to a halwa consistency.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring it does not stick to the pan.
Garnish the halwa with sliced almonds before serving.
Serve the Keto Almond Halwa warm as a delightful dessert.
