Ingredients
 

  • 3 tablespoons ghee
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons milk (room temperature or slightly warm)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • tiny pinch of saffron
  • ½ cup fresh orange juice
  • ½ cup sugar

Instructions
 

  • Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and keep aside to be used later.
  • Pour the milk in a bowl, crush the saffron thread into it, give it a stir and keep aside for 5 minutes. The milk will get infused and turn into saffron color.
  • Warm the heavy cream slightly and add the orange juice along with sugar. Give it a stir and keep it aside. Do not heat the heavy cream too much or else, the orange juice will curdle the cream.
  • Take a heavy bottom pan and place it on medium heat. Pour the ghee and once the ghee melts, scatter the almond flour. Keep stirring constantly for 3 to 4 minutes and you will see the shade of the almond flour darkens slightly. Do not leave unattended as the flour can stick to the pan and burn in a second.
  • Then, pour the orange and cream mixture along with saffron milk into the pan. Keep stirring for at least 7 to 10 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed and you see the ghee separating at the sides of the pan. The consistency of the mixture will also thicken.
  • Put the entire mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press it down to form an even layer. Allow it cool down to the room temperature for a while and then, keep it in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight to set.
  • The fudge comes out of the pan quite easily and the parchment paper also peels off without any effort. Using a serrated knife, slice into bite size fudge. You could either serve it right away or store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator. It stays good for a couple of weeks.
