Honey Almond Chocolate Fudge

Soak Almonds in hot water for an hour.

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.
