Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Erythritol
- 1 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 0.125 teaspoon Saffron strands
- 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
Instructions
In a small bowl, soak the saffron strands in 2 tablespoons of warm water and set aside.
In a heavy-bottomed pan, melt the ghee over medium heat. Add almond flour and roast it for about 8-10 minutes, stirring continuously until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma.
In a separate saucepan, combine water and erythritol. Heat it over medium heat until the erythritol is fully dissolved, forming a syrup. Add the soaked saffron strands and their soaking water to this syrup and mix well.
Pour the syrup into the roasted almond flour, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring frequently.
Add the unsalted butter in two batches, allowing the first batch to melt completely before adding the next. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the butter into the halwa.
Add the cardamom powder and continue to cook the mixture on low heat. Stir frequently until the halwa thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
Transfer the halwa to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped almonds.
Serve warm, or let it cool down to room temperature before serving. Enjoy this keto-friendly delicacy!
