Ingredients
8 ounces ricotta cheese
½ cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar (or Splenda)
5 almonds, blanched and peeled
5 pistachios, blanched and peeled
2 cardamom pods, peeled and ground
One quart whole milk
One 9" x 9" aluminum pan
Directions
- Heat oven to 300° F.
- Cut the almonds and pistachios into small pieces or roughly grind them.
- Mix the ricotta cheese with 1 teaspoon of sugar and spread it evenly in the 9" x 9" pan. Place in heated oven for one hour or until done (a toothpick should come out clean, check often since oven temperatures vary). Let cool, then cut into 2-inch squares.
- Boil the whole milk, add the rest of the sugar (or Splenda) and stir continuously until the milk becomes somewhat thick (aek taar).
- Add the ground cardamom to the milk, remove from heat, and let it cool.
- Pour the sweetened and cooled milk onto the cooked and cut ricotta. Sprinkle with the roughly ground nuts.
