Recipe: Ingredients

3
Servings

For the Recipe

¼ cup of semolina or sooji
1 ½ tbsp of Cadbury Cocoa Powder
2 ½ of sugar
3 tbsp of ghee
½ cup of milk
50 gm of Cadbury Dairy Milk

Chocolate Halwa Recipe: Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Heat ghee in a pan, then add semolina to it and roast until it turns golden. Ensure the heat is low to prevent the semolina from burning.

Step 2

Add sugar and keep the flame on low. Cook until all of the sugar dissolves and blends with the semolina and ghee mixture.

Step 3

Pour milk into the semolina and sugar mixture. Cook until it starts to thicken, and everything comes together into a cohesive mixture.

Step 4

Introduce Cadbury Cocoa powder and break the Dairy Milk chocolate into small pieces, adding them to the semolina while the halwa is still runny.

Step 5

Continue cooking until the halwa thickens, and the fat becomes visible on the sides.

Step 6

Plate it out in a bowl and garnish with chopped nuts of your preference.

Tips & Tricks For A Perfect Chocolate Halwa Recipe

Add a pinch of cardamom powder or a dash of vanilla extract when cooking the semolina to give the chocolate halwa a more complex aromatic profile.
Increase the richness and warmth of the halwa by adding a medley of chopped nuts and dry fruits. Almonds, cashews, raisins, and even walnuts make for a great addition.
If you're a coconut fan, then why not include desiccated coconut or freshly grated coconut in your chocolate halwa? The coconut will not only give it a rich coconut taste that complements chocolate, but it will also bring a subtle chewiness to the sweet texture of the chocolate halwa.
Always serve the indian chocolate halwa warm for the best taste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does chocolate harden halwa?
