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
Directions
Step 1
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the ghee.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Crush the cardamom pods to release the seeds and discard the outer pod shells. Add the seeds to the pan.
Step 4
Slowly add the water to the almond flour mixture, stirring continuously to prevent the formation of lumps.
Step 5
Add the granular erythritol to the mixture and stir well until it dissolves completely. Increase the heat to medium-high.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring it does not stick to the pan.
Step 8
Garnish the halwa with sliced almonds before serving.
Step 9
Serve the Keto Almond Halwa warm as a delightful dessert.
