Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1.5 cups Ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 1 pinch Saffron strands
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios, slivered
- 1 teaspoon Rose water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup erythritol, and baking powder. Mix well until the mixture forms a smooth dough.
Beat in the egg until the dough becomes pliable and easy to work with.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat patty.
Place the patties on the prepared baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden and firm to touch. Remove from oven and let them cool completely.
In a large saucepan, combine heavy cream and almond milk. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for another 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup erythritol and cardamom powder.
Add saffron strands and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in rose water. Allow the cream mixture to cool for about 5-10 minutes.
Gently place the baked patties into the cream mixture, making sure they are covered completely.
Transfer the Keto Ras Malai to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to soak in the flavors.
Before serving, garnish with slivered pistachios and a few extra saffron strands.
