Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Labelled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Milk powder:<\/strong> This is the base for these pedas. Use full-fat milk powder for a smooth, soft, fudgy texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cocoa powder:<\/strong> Use good-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for that rich chocolate flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almond meal:<\/strong> Use store-bought almond meal, or make your own by grinding whole almonds until powdered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar:<\/strong> I used raw sugar, powdered so it dissolves easily into the mixture. The amount mentioned in the recipe keeps the sweetness well-balanced rather than sugary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ghee:<\/strong> It adds richness and acts as a binder for the peda mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk:<\/strong> Whole milk gives these pedas a fudgy texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosewater:<\/strong> This adds a delicate floral note that goes so well with chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardamom powder:<\/strong> This adds warmth and rounds up the flavor beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
