Ingredients

• 200 grams Cashew nuts
• 50 grams Powdered erythritol
• 60 ml Full-fat coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Ghee (clarified butter)
• 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 2 sheets Silver leaf (optional, for decoration)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by roasting the cashew nuts in a pan over low heat for about 3-4 minutes until slightly golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.

Step 2

Allow the roasted cashew nuts to cool completely. Once cooled, transfer them to a blender or food processor and grind them into a fine powder. Do not over-blend as it might release the oils, turning them into a paste.

Step 3

In a non-stick pan, add the powdered erythritol and coconut milk. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Place the pan on medium heat and continue stirring until the erythritol dissolves completely and the mixture starts to thicken slightly, approximately 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the cashew powder to the pan, mix well to form a smooth and lump-free dough.

Step 6

Once mixed, add the ghee and cardamom powder. Continue to cook on low heat, stirring constantly for about 5-8 minutes or until the mixture starts thickening and leaves the sides of the pan.

Step 7

Remove the pan from heat. Let it sit for a minute until it is safe to handle.

Step 8

Transfer the mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper. Place another sheet on top and gently roll it out with a rolling pin to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Step 9

If using silver leaf, gently place them over the rolled dough and smooth it out with a soft cloth or tissue.

Step 10

Allow the rolled dough to cool and set for about 15-20 minutes.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, cut the set dough into diamond-shaped pieces.

Step 12

Your Low Carb Kaju Katli is ready to be served. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
