    How to Prepare Carrot Halwa [Vegan]

    1. Heat the coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the nuts and dried fruits for 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
    2. In the same pan (no need to wipe out the oil), sauté the carrots for 5 minutes, tossing regularly so they cook evenly.
    3. Add the creamer, stir, and continue to cook for 15 minutes or until the carrots are soft and fully cooked.
    4. Add the cardamom, salt, and sugar. Mix and cook for another 5 minutes.
    5. Add the almond flour. Mix and cook for 5 minutes or until the halwa thickens and doesn’t stick to the pan.
    6. Stir in the dried nuts and fruits and take the pan off the heat. Serve hot or chilled.

    Notes

    Try using grated beet instead of carrot for a twist on this classic.
