Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Small ice cream scoop or a spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tin sweetened condensed milk 397g
  • 100 g white chocolate
  • 125 g ground almonds 1 1/4 cups
  • 125 g desiccated coconut 1 1/2 cups
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste or 2tsps vanilla extract
  • 3 cardamom pods seeds crushed 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • Extra desiccated coconut for decorating

Instructions
 

  • Mix all of the ingredients in a saucepan and place on a low heat and cook for about 5 - 7 minutes stirring constantly. You’ll know its done when all of the white chocolate is melted, everything is well combined and the mixture starts to pull away from the sides of the pan
  • Once the mixture is at this stage take it off the heat and place into a bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature. You could spread the mixture out onto a tray to cool it faster.
  • Once the barfi mixture is fully cooled, use a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon to create small balls and roll them in the palms of your hand, before rolling in more coconut.
    - Use some neutral oil on your scoop of choice and your hands so that the mixture doesn't stick to them!
  • Finally, refrigerate the coconut almond balls for an hour or so and enjoy! Keep these in the fridge for the best texture.
