Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans of condensed milk (397 gms each)
  • 5 tsp ghee
  • 3 tsp saffron strands
  • 100 gms ground almonds
  • ¼ cup chopped pistachios
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • icing sugar for rolling the fudge pieces

Instructions
 

  • In a microwave safe bowl, add the condensed milk, saffron, ghee, ground almonds and pistachios. Mix well.
  • Place the bowl in the microwave and cook for 6 minutes, stirring the contents after every 2 minutes.
  • After 6 minutes, cook for another 6-8 minutes, and this time stir after every minute till the mixture is grainy. (Altogether, from the beginning, it takes me around 12 to 15 minutes to reach the required consistency.)
  • Remove the bowl from the microwave and mix in the cranberries.
  • Line a dish with foil and lightly grease it.
  • Tip the mixture into the pan and spread it out. With lightly greased hands, smooth the top.
  • Let the mixture come to room temperature and then chill in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours.
  • Cut into small pieces and roll them generously in icing sugar.
  • Enjoy!
