- Meanwhile dry roast a handful of almonds, cool it completely. Grind them into a coarse powder. Measure 1/8 cup of this powder and set aside.
- After an hour, remove the peels of the soaked almonds and grind to a fine paste with 4 - 5 tablespoons of water.
- In a heavy bottom pan, mix almond paste, honey and sugar.
- Turn on the stove in simmer flame, melt the mixture and boil it until bubbles are seen and a mild one string consistency is achieved. It took approximately 4 – 5 minutes.
- Add butter and chocolate chips followed by vanilla extract, give a gentle mix and turn off the stove immediately. Let the vessel be on the stove.
- After 2 minutes, remove the vessel and whisk until the mixture turns glossy with all the chocolate chips melted.
- Allow it to cool for few minutes, and when the mixture is still warm mix the milk powder followed by the powdered almonds.
- Transfer it to a tray lined with parchment sheet when it is lukewarm.
- Spread it evenly using a spatula and sprinkle the desiccated coconut.
- Allow it to cool and refrigerate for 1 – 2 hours. Slice and enjoy this yummy treat.
Notes
Cooking time includes refrigeration timing too.
Do not boil honey, sugar and almond mixture for a long time otherwise it will start crystallizing impacting the texture of the fudge.
Ground Almond powder gives a nutty crunch to the fudge.
Refrigerate the remaining fudge slices and bring them to room temperature before serving or serve cold fudge too. Either ways it’s yummy!
