    Chocolate is a huge weakness of mine. And I mostly prefer the dark, decadent variety. And though I love making the traditional desserts around Diwali, a chocolaty twist is definitely very welcome. So I experimented with these incredibly easy pedas and added chocolate and walnuts to them. They have turned out gorgeous! The kids and husband absolutely loved them. And all it takes is 15 minutes of cooking time. Even if you are a newbie cook, you can’t go wrong with this one. So whether you make it as a sweet treat or a Diwali surprise, these chocolate peda without condensed milk will blow your mind away.

    Here’s my easy step-by-step chocolate peda recipe without condensed milk:

    Notes

    • Adjust the quantity of sugar as per your taste. I prefer medium sweetness.
    • Use unsweetened good quality khoya and cocoa.
    • You can use other nuts if you like though chocolate and walnut is a classic combination.
    • You can expedite cooling of the khoya mixture by putting it in the fridge. Else it takes a good half an hour to cool adequately.
    • Do not cook cocoa for long or it will get bitter. Hence it was added at the end and hardly on the fire for about a minute.

      Chocolate recipe on the birthday ? Very smart ?

      This reminds me of the chocolate pedas my aunt used to make using Khoya. Pretty similar recipe and now I am all nostalgic ?

      I make another variant of this using dessicated coconut instead of cocoa. It’s a BIG hit. Thanks for the reminder. Will make that and try making this one for Diwali this time. Pictures are so drool-worthy!

      Happy birthday once again and enjoy the chocolaty indulgence ?

      I prefer the dark decadent variant of chocolate. While I still like white chocolate, I'm not a fan of milk chocolate.

      This recipe seems so simple and I can already imagine the variant I can make with this base recipe. Thank you so much for this recipe, Rachna.
