Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Erythritol sweetener
• 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 2 tablespoons Sliced almonds
• 2 tablespoons Ghee
• 10 pieces Saffron strands
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Gather all the ingredients and have them ready.

Step 2

In a small bowl, soak the saffron strands in 2 tablespoons of warm water and set aside.

Step 3

In a heavy-bottomed non-stick pan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 4

Once the butter has melted, add the ghee and sliced almonds. Roast the almonds until they are golden brown and aromatic. Remove them from the pan and keep aside for garnishing.

Step 5

In the same pan, add almond flour and roast it over medium heat while continuously stirring until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Lower the heat and add the erythritol sweetener, stirring continuously until it is well combined with the almond flour.

Step 7

Slowly pour in the full-fat coconut milk while stirring constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.

Step 8

Add the soaked saffron along with the water and the cardamom powder to the mixture. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan. This should take about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the halwa from the heat and transfer it to a serving bowl.

Step 10

Garnish with the roasted almonds and serve warm or at room temperature.
