Indian Keto Coconut Bars
Ingredients
- 100g of shredded unsweetened coconut
- 320 ml of unsweetened coconut milk
- 100g of ghee
- 4 tbsp of Erythritol
- 1 tsp of cardamom powder/ elaichi powder
- 10-20 of saffron threads
- Optional: top with chopped almonds
Instructions
- Grab a bowl and mix the shredded coconut with 300 ml (1 1/4 cup/ 10.1 fl oz) of coconut milk. Put this mixture aside for 30 minutes.
- Append remaining 20 ml (0.7 fl oz) coconut milk; add the saffron threads and the erythritol. Blend it properly for the sugar to dissolve.
- Following 30 minutes, heat a wok and melt the ghee in it. Now add the coconut mixture, and keep mixing ensuring the flame is at low and the mixture does not stick to the surface. Abide mixing for 5-7 minutes.
- Affix the Elaichi / cardamom powder and cook the mixture for another 5 minutes.
- Get a baking tray/ barfi tray (I used a 16 cm/6.3-inch square baking tray), butter it, and spread the mixture evenly, up to 1 cm thick. You can also top with chopped almonds and gently press them in. Freeze it for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Dice small squares according to your own liking and the barfi is ready. Chill for up to 5 days or if too soft, freeze for up to 3 months.
