Two tone chocolate milk peda - These highly addictive heavenly sweetness combines two very classic flavors to bring you the ultimate treat for any special occasion. Just make sure you prepare plenty of them.
In general, peda or milk fudge is a soft, cookie shaped Indian sweet usually prepared during festivals like Diwali and other special occasions. It is one of those popular treats that you'll find in every Indian sweet shop.
Peda comes in so many different flavors depending on the key ingredient added to it. This ranges from plain white milk peda to yellow saffron fudge and dark brown chocolate peda.
Oh, I think you have already guessed what I did in this recipe. When I first decided to make peda for the blog, I just couldn't make up my mind on the flavor I should choose for the recipe. I like both plain milk and chocolate pedas. So I've come up with an idea
to combine these two flavors in one peda to create a two tone milk peda.
I've also changed up the traditional recipe quite a bit to make this milk peda recipe quick and easy for you. And this is where the magical ingredient comes in. Condensed milk. This one ingredient remarkably saves your time.
This recipe for milk peda makes around 12 pedas. But if you are cooking for a gathering, simply double or triple the recipe.
Look at these pretty little sweet treats. They're begging for your attention.
Enjoy!!

Ingredients
- 400 g condensed milk
- 2 cups milk powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom cardamom powder
- 3 tablespoon melted ghee
- 1 ½ tablespoon cocoa powder
Instructions
- Place a large pan over low heat. Add condensed milk and milk powder. Cook, stirring, until it gets a semisolid consistency. Add cardamom and melted ghee. Cook again, stirring, until the mixture becomes really thick and leaves the sides of the pan.
- Transfer half of the mixture to a plate. Set aside. Add cocoa powder to the remaining mixture in the pan. Stir until the cocoa is really incorporated into the mixture and heated through. Remove from heat. Allow to cool down slightly.
- Divide the white mixture into 12 very small lemon sized balls. Divide the chocolate mixture into 12 very small lemon sized balls. Take 1 ball from each color and roll them together. Flatten them carefully into small discs so that one side is white and the other side is dark.
