Ingredients
- 3/4 cup good quality milk chocolate (150g)
- 3 cups milk powder
- 1 cup evaporated milk or whole milk
- 1/8 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/4 cup ghee
- 1 1/8 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of milk to make a paste. Set aside.
- In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and set aside.
Make mawa by heating ghee in a nonstick pan. Add milk and milk powder. Mix over medium heat until it comes together to form mawa, 5-7 minutes.
- Add the powdered sugar paste and cardamom. Stir until fully integrated.
- Take about half of this mixture and press it into a small pan, such as a 7” square cheesecake pan. Spread it evenly, pressing down with a spatula.
- Return the remaining mawa to the heat. Pour in the melted chocolate and stir until fully combined.
- Add the rest of this mixture to your small pan. Press along the top with a spatula to form a somewhat smooth surface. Add your garnish and let cool to set before cutting.
