Ingredients

• 4 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Erythritol sweetener
• 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 1 pinch Saffron strands
• 2 tablespoons Pistachios, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Rose water

Directions

Step 1

In a large saucepan, heat the unsweetened almond milk over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

Step 2

Add a pinch of saffron strands to the almond milk and let it steep to infuse the milk with flavor and color.

Step 3

While the milk is heating, prepare the almond dough for the rasmalai balls. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and erythritol sweetener.

Step 4

Add the egg to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky yet firm enough to form balls.

Step 5

Divide the almond dough into 12 equal portions and roll them into small balls using your hands.

Step 6

Gently drop the formed almond balls into the simmering almond milk.

Step 7

Allow the rasmalai balls to cook for about 15 minutes. They will expand and become soft as they absorb the milk.

Step 8

Once the balls are cooked, carefully remove them and set aside.

Step 9

To the remaining milk in the saucepan, add erythritol sweetener (to taste), cardamom powder, and rose water. Stir well.

Step 10

Let the milk continue to simmer until it reduces to about half its original volume, which should take around 10-15 minutes.

Step 11

Return the cooked rasmalai balls to the reduced milk and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow them to soak up more flavor.

Step 12

Turn off the heat and let the dessert cool slightly before transferring it to the refrigerator.

Step 13

Chill for at least 2 hours before serving, allowing the flavors to meld perfectly.

Step 14

Garnish with chopped pistachios before serving. Enjoy your low-carb Rasmalai!
