Ingredients

• 500 grams Carrots, grated
• 4 tablespoons Ghee
• 2 tablespoons Almond flour
• 200 ml Full-fat coconut milk
• 5 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener
• 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 1 pinch Saffron strands
• 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
• 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by peeling and grating the carrots. Use a medium-sized grater to ensure uniform pieces that cook evenly.

Step 2

In a large pan, heat the ghee on medium heat. Add the grated carrots to the pan and sauté them for about 10-15 minutes until they become soft and slightly change color.

Step 3

Add the almond flour to the carrots and mix well. This helps in absorbing any excess moisture and adds a slight nuttiness to the halwa.

Step 4

Pour in the full-fat coconut milk, bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to simmer.

Step 5

Add the erythritol sweetener, cardamom powder, and saffron strands. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

Step 6

Continue to cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the coconut milk is reduced. This should take about 15-20 minutes.

Step 7

Once the halwa reaches your desired consistency, mix in the chopped almonds and pistachios. Also, add the vanilla extract if using, and stir well.

Step 8

Turn off the heat and allow the halwa to cool slightly. The halwa will thicken further as it cools.

Step 9

Serve warm in dessert bowls. Garnish with additional nuts if desired.
