I bought frozen khoya recently in Mustafa and was thinking what to make prepare with it.

I wanted to try something this Diwali for kids. So decided to prepare Chocolate peda.

I knew with khoya it will turn out deliciously good and kids will definitely love this. Even everyone at home will love this.

The procedure is very simple, just heat all the ingredients together and cook, and you are done with this chocolate peda.

I love all varieties of peda available in sweet shops, even Aj love it. But haven't tried or tasted chocolate peda before.

Since Diwali is nearing, you can make this quickly for your kids and treat them. Since cocoa powder is there, I am sure it will be a hit amongst them.

The colour of the peda depends on the cocoa powder you use.

Cup measurements

Ingredients

• 1 cup Khoya
• 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder unsweetened
• ¼ cup Sugar
• 3 tablespoon Chopped almonds
• 1 teaspoon Butter
• ½ teaspoon Vanilla essence
• Sliced almonds

Instructions

• 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.
