Habshi Halwa

This is a newly discovered recipe of a delicious mithai. Once again my mum from USA sent it to me.

Ingredients

  • 6oz butter (slightly melt in a frying pan or microwave, do not overheat)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup ground almonds
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1½ cups full cream powder milk
  • handful coarsely chopped cashew
  • SWITCH ON OVEN TO MEDIUM

Method

  1. Mix all ingredients in a deep bowl, place in a square (approx 8×8) baking dish and place in the middle of the oven to bake.
  2. After 15 minutes of baking, when the mixture starts setting, remove baking tray from oven and using a fork, gently stir the ingredients, use the fork to bring in from corners and sides and create a lumpy mixture.
  3. Return to oven and repeat the mixing stage every 15 minutes for 3 – 4 times until a medium brown colour is achieved.
  4. Cool for 20mins, then cut whilst warm and remove slices into a serving plate.
  5. Can be served warm as part of a high tea or as a dessert following a special dinner. Will keep in the fridge for 2 weeks.
