Ingredients
White Layer
- 1/2 cup Milk Powder
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder elaichi
- 2 tbsp Ghee
- 4 tbsp Milk as needed, condensed, or more
Chocolate Layer
- 1/2 cup Milk Powder
- 2 tbsp Ghee
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 4 tbsp Milk condensed
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Garnish
- Pistachios sliced
- Almonds roasted, sliced
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the milk powder, ghee, cardamom powder, and condensed milk for the white layer. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the white layer mixture and cook, stirring constantly. This prevents sticking and ensures even cooking.
- Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and forms a dough-like consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Lightly grease a square pan with ghee. Spread the cooled white layer mixture evenly in the pan and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the chocolate layer by combining the milk powder, ghee, milk, cocoa powder, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Heat the same nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the chocolate layer mixture and cook, stirring continuously until it thickens into a dough-like consistency.
- Let the chocolate layer cool slightly. Then, spread it evenly over the white layer in the prepared pan.
- Garnish with sliced pistachios and roasted almonds. Gently press the garnish into the kalakand using a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the kalakand to set. Once firm, cut into desired shapes and serve.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Adjust the amount of condensed milk to your preferred sweetness.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, add 1 tablespoon more cocoa powder.
- For a vegan version, substitute condensed milk with sweetened coconut condensed milk, use plant-based milk powder, and replace desi ghee with coconut oil.
Expert Tips
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor. Dutch-processed cocoa powder will yield a fudgier, less intense chocolate flavor while natural cocoa powder will give a more intense, slightly bitter chocolate note.
- For a smoother kalakand, blend the mixture with an immersion blender before setting it in the tray.
- If using a microwave, be careful not to overheat the mixture, as this can cause it to become rubbery.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover kalakand in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Let it come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
