Servings

For the Recipe

1/2 cup of makhana (fox nuts)
2 tbsp of ghee
80 gm of Cadbury Dairy Milk
20 gm of Cadbury White

Directions

Roast the makhana in ghee over medium flame. Keep stirring till all of the ghee has coated the makhana, and the nuts become golden and aromatic.

Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 10-second intervals. Keep mixing between the intervals to ensure that the melted chocolate has no lumps.

Prepare a cold bath for the makhana by placing ice-cold water in a bowl and positioning a larger bowl on top. Ensure that the bottom of the bowl touches the water in the lower bowl. This will expedite the process of layering the makhana with chocolate.

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the makhana and keep stirring to prevent the chocolate from drying out. Ensure that the makhana do not stick to each other.

Once the first layer of chocolate dries out, add another layer of chocolate. Repeat this process about 10 times, ensuring that each chocolate layer dries out before adding the next one.

The makhana will be nicely coated with the final layer.

Next, melt the white chocolate in a similar fashion as the Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate.

Arrange the coated makhanas on a flat tray lined with parchment paper and drizzle melted white chocolate over them.

Freeze for about 5 minutes and enjoy them once all of the chocolate has completely set.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container.

TIPS

The first layer of coating will take longer to dry out. Each subsequent layer will dry out more quickly as you dip the makhanas in chocolate.

You can also roll the makhanas in some desiccated chocolate instead of decorating them with white chocolate drizzles. This way, you can have a variety of chocolate-coated makhanas to eat or serve to your guests.

You can also flavor the chocolate with ground spices or add some almond or vanilla extract to give the Makhana Pops an exciting flavor profile.
