Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 cup almond flour

  • ¼ cup ghee (or coconut oil for vegan)

  • 1 cup milk (or almond milk for vegan)

  • ½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)

  • ¼ tsp cardamom powder

  • Chopped almonds or pistachios for garnish


Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Heat ghee in a non-stick or heavy-bottom pan on medium heat.

  2. Add almond flour and roast for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Pour in milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

  4. Add sugar and mix well.

  5. Continue stirring until the halwa thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan.

  6. Add cardamom powder, mix, and turn off the heat.

  7. Garnish with chopped nuts and serve warm.


Tips for Perfect Almond Flour Halwa

  • Use low to medium heat to prevent burning.

  • Stir continuously for a smooth, lump-free texture.

  • Adjust ghee quantity for a richer flavor.

  • For a creamier taste, replace part of the milk with condensed milk (reduce sugar).
