Gajar Ka Halwa Truffles
These carrot halwa truffles are a twist on the traditional Indian dessert. My Indian fusion recipes are always a Diwali favorite and the best part is these can be made in just under 30 minutes.
Servings: 12 truffles
Ingredients
- 2 cups carrots grated
- ⅓ cup shredded coconut
- ⅓ cup cashews chopped
- ¼ cup sweetned condensed milk
- ¼ cup raisins
- 1 tbsp ghee
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup milk
- ½ tsp ground cardamon
- ¼ cup melted white chocolate
Instructions
- Over med/high heat add the ghee, followed by the ground cardamon, cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Next add the grated carrots, cook for 5 mins until the carrots start to soften up, you will start to see the carrots relase the water it will soon start to dry up.
- Add your milk and sugar to the carrots, cook this mixture until the milk is absorbed into the carrots, this step will take some time 8-10min.
- Add the condensed milk and shredded coconut, keep mixing until the condensed milk is dried out. Turn off stove and mix in the raisins and cashews
- Spread the mixrure in a baking tray or plate, let mixture cool for about 10 mins, to speed up the process pop it in the freezer for 5 mins. In the mean time melt your chocolate chips in the microwave or stove top. Set aside.
- Grease your hands a little bit with ghee and start rolling out the truffles. Once the truffles are rolled out, place melted chocolate in a ziplock bag and cut a tiny hole on the corner, drizzle the tops of the truffles and let the chocolate cool off. Place in the fridge for 5 mins so the chocolate can harden.
