1/4 cup Cocoa Powder, dark

400 grams Condensed Milk

Instructions for Chocolate Peda Recipe

To begin making the Chocolate Peda, melt the butter in a non-stick pan on low heat. When it is melted, switch off the heat and add milk powder & dark cocoa powder.

Using a spatula mix the ingredients well and then add the condensed milk. Now turn on the heat and keep it in a low flame.

Start stirring the mixture and slowly add milk and cardamom powder. Continue stirring for about 10-12 minutes.

The chocolate mixture will start to leave the sides of the pan. At this stage, turn off the flame and transfer the mixture on to a plate greased with ghee.

Rub your hands with a tablespoon of ghee and then start shaping the pedas.

The pedas will initially be sticky and after around 3-4 hours they start to hold the shape well.

Using your thumb make an impression at the centre of the pedas and fill it with chopped pistachios.
