For the Recipe

2 tsp Cadbury cocoa powder
½ cup fresh paneer
½ cup nuts
¼ cup powdered sugar
Few saffron strands ( optional )

Directions

Cocoa Sandesh With Nuts - Take fresh paneer

Step 1

Take fresh paneer and place it on a clean plate. Knead it thoroughly with your hands for 3–4 minutes, or until it becomes soft and smooth like dough. Once it reaches the desired consistency, add powdered sugar to the paneer.

Cocoa Sandesh With Nuts - Add a few strands of saffron

Step 2

Add a few strands of saffron directly to the kneaded paneer mixture to infuse it with a subtle aroma and golden color.

Cocoa Sandesh With Nuts - Add Cadbury cocoa powder

Step 3

Now, add Cadbury cocoa powder to the paneer mixture for a rich chocolate flavor.

Cocoa Sandesh With Nuts - Knead the mixture again

Step 4

Knead the mixture again for another 3–4 minutes, or until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is uniformly colored.

Cocoa Sandesh With Nuts - Cook it over low heat

Step 5

Transfer the prepared mixture into a medium-sized non-stick pan. Cook it over low heat, stirring continuously to avoid sticking. Cook until the mixture becomes slightly dry but still retains a moist, pliable texture. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before handling.

Cocoa Sandesh With Nuts - Chop your choice of dry fruits

Step 6

Finely chop your choice of dry fruits, such as almonds, pistachios, or cashews. Feel free to use any combination of nuts you prefer for decoration.

Cocoa Sandesh With Nuts - Roll each portion

Step 7

Divide the cooled mixture evenly into six portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball using your palms. Then, gently press each ball between your palms to flatten it slightly. You may also use a decorative mold for a more traditional look.
