Description

A moist and chewy coconut fudge, elegantly flavored with cardamom and saffron, perfect for a sweet indulgence.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 5 cups (42 oz) fresh or frozen grated coconut
  • 1 can (14 oz) condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup (4 oz) cream
  • 6 cardamom pods, ground to a powder
  • 1/4 tsp saffron strands
  • 1 tbsp warm milk
  • Clarified butter, for greasing

Instructions

  1. Grease a rimmed plate with clarified butter and set it aside.
  2. Add the saffron strands to the warm milk and crush them between your fingers to release the flavor and color.
  3. In a large pan, mix the grated coconut, condensed milk, and cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously.
  4. Once the mixture starts to thicken, add the cardamom powder and the saffron-infused milk. Continue to cook, stirring, until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and becomes a mass.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the greased plate and spread it evenly. Allow it to cool slightly.
  6. Once set, cut into 1-inch pieces and serve.
