Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 200 g Coconut sugar
- 100 g Almond butter
- 1 tsp Cardamom powder
- 2 tbsp Sliced almonds
- 2 tbsp Grated coconut
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Instructions
Prepare a square baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, allowing some extra to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the coconut milk and coconut sugar over medium heat, stirring continually until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Once the mixture begins to simmer, lower the heat slightly and add the almond butter, stirring continuously to ensure it's fully mixed in.
Add the cardamom powder and salt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, approximately 25-28 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds and grated coconut over the top of the mixture, pressing them lightly into the surface.
Allow the gudpak to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then transfer to the refrigerator for an additional 2 hours to fully set.
Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the gudpak from the dish and place it on a cutting board. Cut into squares with a sharp knife, serve, and enjoy!
