An easy peasy Peda made from minimum of ingredients and the star ingredient being the Cocoa powder is a treat on any given day for sure without any doubts.
Effortlessly done without much difficulty, it's absolutely a bliss. With Cocoa powder added it becomes even more cool and yummy. Bursting with Chocolaty flavours, it's a great option for a quick aftermeal Dessert on any day or on a weekend too when the whole family is together. It can be a great team work as well. Everyone can contribute and whip up this beautiful looking Mithai or Sweetmeat.

The best part is that it can be made and relished fresh whenever needed and since it has Mawa or Khoya in it, these Pedas can't be stored for a long time. As with every Milk products, these can stay afresh for 3-4 days at the maximum. That's it. Let's get started.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Heat a pan on a low with ghee or the clarified butter. Add the fresh mawa or khoya to it. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until it's soft and supple. Now add the cocoa powder to it.
2

Mix well and add a little of cardamom powder too. Cook by stirring it continously until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan.
3

Take it off the heat and stir in some powdered sugar and the chopped almonds. Mix well and shape into pedas using a peda mould or any other of your choice. I have used a measuring spoon of (1 tbsp) and have shaped them as in the images.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
