Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup ghee
- 0.75 cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons cashew nuts
- 0.25 teaspoon saffron strands
Directions
Step 1
Begin by heating ghee in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the cashew nuts and sliced almonds, and roast them until they become golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
In the same pan, add almond flour and sauté it in the leftover ghee on low heat until it turns slightly golden and releases a nutty aroma. This should take about 5 minutes. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
Step 3
While the almond flour is roasting, in a separate small saucepan, bring water to a boil and add erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener) along with the saffron strands. Stir until the sweetener dissolves completely and the mixture is well combined.
Step 4
After roasting the almond flour, carefully pour the hot sweetener syrup into the pan with the roasted almond flour, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium and continue to stir the mixture until it thickens. This will take approximately 5 more minutes.
Step 6
Add cardamom powder and the roasted nuts to the halwa, stirring well to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
Step 7
Cook for additional 2 minutes or until the ghee starts to separate from the sides of the pan.
Step 8
Remove the halwa from heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a delightful low-carb dessert. Enjoy with a sprinkle of additional nuts if desired.
