Ingredients

• 1 cup Blanched almond flour
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (or ghee for a richer flavor)
• 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Erythritol
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pistachios, or almonds) (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until melted and bubbling.

Step 2

Add the almond flour to the saucepan and stir constantly, toasting the flour gently. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the flour is golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it.

Step 3

While the almond flour is toasting, combine the coconut milk, water, erythritol, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a separate saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat and stir until the erythritol dissolves. Bring it to a gentle simmer, then reduce to low heat.

Step 4

Once the almond flour is toasted, slowly pour the warm coconut milk mixture into the saucepan with the toasted almond flour. Stir constantly as you pour to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 5

Continue to stir the mixture over low heat. It will thicken as the almond flour absorbs the liquid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the halva reaches your desired consistency.

Step 6

Remove the halva from heat and transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped nuts, if using, and a sprinkle of additional cinnamon for extra flavor.

Step 7

Serve warm or allow to cool and set further before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly traditional halva!
