Ingredients

3 cups milk powder preferably whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream start with less and add more as needed to get a smooth dough
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 teaspoon stevia glycerite or more to taste
2 teaspoons vanilla
pistachio chopped, for garnish, omit for nut-free

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and knead well with your hands until you have a smooth dough. Add more cream as needed so that it easily holds together when you squeeze some in your hand. Press into a pan lined with parchment paper sprinkled with chopped pistachios, if using (you can skip the lining step if you’re using a silicon pan), let stand 50 minutes, cut into cubes.
