Chocolate peda recipe with khoya, cocoa powder and sugar as main ingredients. With step by step pictures. Easy recipe made with khoya for this Diwali. Kids will love this!
Ingredients
Khoya – 1 cup
Cocoa powder, unsweetened – 2 tbsp
Sugar – 1/4 cup
Chopped almonds – 3 tbsp
Butter – 1 tsp
Vanilla essence – 1/2 tsp
Sliced almonds – for garnish
Method
- Take khoya, cocoa powder, sugar, chopped almonds and butter in a heavy bottomed pan. Mix well over medium flame.
- As we heat, it will melt and become watery. Add vanilla essence and continue cooking.
- It will start leaving the sides, yet should continue cooking. At a stage, the whole mixture gets thicker and as a single mass. Switch off the flame and transfer to another plate for cooling.
- Once warm enough to handle divide into 11-12 equal sized balls. Grease your hands and shape it as pedas. I just used a lid, added few sliced almonds to the bottom. Flattened the khoya coco mixture in it.
- Shape it well and take out to arrange over a butter paper/ baking sheet. refrigerate for 30 mins before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to cook in medium flame and not in high flame.
- You can just shape with your hands instead using lid. Make a dent in middle and decorate with powdered almonds.
- Placing in butter paper is must. Otherwise it might stick. Or you can also grease the plate.
- At first it will seem to be sticky, but after some 6-8 hrs, it will be completely dry.
- Consume within 2 days of making. If you refrigerate more time, make sure to keep it half an hour before serving.

Chocolate peda tastes great with added almond crunch in it. You can skip the nuts too.
