Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 10 pitted Medjool dates
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons Sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons Raisins
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by processing the Medjool dates in a food processor until they form a smooth paste. You may need to add a tablespoon of warm water if the dates are dry.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut oil over low heat. Add the almond flour and stir continuously, toasting lightly until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Incorporate the date paste into the saucepan, mixing well with the toasted almond flour until fully combined.
Step 4
Gradually stir in the coconut milk while continuing to cook over a medium-low flame. Keep stirring to ensure a lump-free mixture and prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 5
Add cardamom powder, salt, sliced almonds, and raisins into the mixture, stirring everything together.
Step 6
Continue to cook and stir for another 6-8 minutes until the halwa thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
Step 7
Once the desired consistency is reached, turn off the heat and let the halwa sit for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
Serve the halwa warm, garnished with additional sliced almonds if desired.
