  • This will take around 15-20 minutes to cook.

  • Once its done keep in refrigerator for 10-15 min .
  • STEP 2: PREPARATION OF BUTTERSCOTCH
  • Add sugar in a pan on medium heat. Chop cashews and almonds and keep them ready.
  • Sugar will first be all clumpy but then it will melt in a smooth liquid.
  • As soon as sugar melts and caramelizes in golden brown, add the nuts to it.
  • Be very careful here, the caramelized sugar is too hot. 
  • Also sugar can burn very quickly once it’s melted so as soon as it caramelized stir in the nuts and remove from heat.
  • Transfer the sugar nut mixture onto a parchment paper or greased oil dish and let it cool down. once its cool break it into pieces.
