Ingredients:
1 cup almond flour (fine, blanched)
3 tbsp unsalted butter or ghee
¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
¼ cup powdered erythritol (or any keto sweetener, to taste)
½ tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp rose water or vanilla extract (optional)
A pinch of saffron strands (optional)
Sliced almonds or pistachios for garnish
Method of Preparation:
In a non-stick pan, melt the butter or ghee over medium-low heat.
Add the almond flour and roast gently, stirring continuously, until fragrant and lightly golden (about 5–7 minutes).
Slowly pour in the almond milk while stirring to avoid lumps.
Add the powdered sweetener, cardamom, saffron, and rose water (if using).
Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with sliced nuts.
