Almond Kheer Recipe

Heat the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk and almond powder in a pot and cook on medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the cardamom, saffron and dried cherries.

Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a creamy consistency and can coat the back of a wooden spoon. Pour into serving dishes and chill for 4 to 5 hours. Garnish with sliced almonds, if desired.
