Cardamom-infused Cashew Diamond Treats
Ingrediënten
- 1 cup raw unsalted cashews
- 4 cardamom pods seeds removed and crushed (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ cup water
Instructies
- Grind the cashews into a fine powder using a food processor or grinder.
- In a bowl, mix together the ground cashews, crushed cardamom seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- In a saucepan, heat the water and sugar over medium heat until it reaches a boiling point, stirring occasionally.
- Once boiling, add the cashew mixture to the saucepan and stir well using a rubber spatula.
- Cook the mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously, until it thickens.
- To check if it's ready, drop a small amount of the mixture onto a cool plate – it should form a soft ball.
- Once the mixture reaches the desired consistency, pour it onto lightly oiled aluminum foil.
- Let the mixture cool slightly, then knead it until it becomes smooth and glassy.
- Roll out the mixture to about 1/4 inch thickness and slice it into diamond shapes.
- Store the cashew diamonds in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
