Calories 215kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
- pinch of saffron strands (roughly crushed)
Suggested Garnishes
- 1-2 tbsp crushed pistachios
- 1-2 tbsp crushed almonds
- few saffron strands
Instructions
- Place a nonstick pan at medium heat and warm it slightly. (Do not let the pan become very hot, just enough where you can comfortably touch the inside of the pan with your finger). Add almond flour to it.
- Continuously sauté it with a spatula at low-medium heat until it starts to change its color. (Do not leave it unattended and this step may take about 7-10 minutes).
- Immediately add sugar, almond milk, cardamom powder and crushed saffron.
- At low heat mix it well. Do not add any extra liquid. Just keep mixing all the ingredients. (This might take about 3-4 minutes). Turn it off and remove the pan from the heat.
- Spoon it out in the serving bowl and garnish with crushed pistachios, crushed almonds and few saffron strands.
Notes
- Do not rush through any of the steps.
- At step 4 while mixing all the ingredients do not add any extra liquid even though you might get tempted. Please be patient and keep mixing and folding scraping from all sides and you will get the right texture.
- This is not overly sweet recipe so if desired you may add 1 tbsp more sugar depending on your taste.
- Do not use almond meal or else the texture and taste will not be the same.
- The nutritional information is provided without the garnishes.
