Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.75 cup Erythritol
- 0.5 cup Ghee (clarified butter)
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Cardamom powder (optional)
Instructions
Line a small square or rectangular baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal of Mysore Pak.
In a small saucepan, combine the erythritol and water. Heat on medium, stirring until the erythritol dissolves completely to form a syrup.
In a separate pan, dry roast the almond flour on low heat for about 5 minutes until it starts to emit a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn the flour.
Slowly add the roasted almond flour to the erythritol syrup while continuously stirring to ensure there are no lumps.
Add the ghee to the almond flour mixture, one tablespoon at a time, stirring continuously to incorporate it fully each time.
Continue cooking on a low flame, stirring intermittently, until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
Add the baking soda and cardamom powder (if using) and mix well. The mixture will become slightly frothy and may increase in volume.
Quickly transfer the mixture into the prepared dish and spread it evenly. Flatten the top using the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Cut it into desired shapes while still warm for easy slicing.
Let it cool completely to set before removing the pieces from the dish. Serve and enjoy!
