About:

This grain-free, vegan slices, which is similar to Badam burfi (Almond Halwa). It is made with almond flour and is full of cardamom and coconut flavour! This is one of those recipes that’s so easy and no mess. Although it’s an unassuming slim little slice and somewhat wet inside, don’t let looks fool you; it has the best flavour, and there’s a lovely contrast between the slightly chewy crust and buttery crumb
