These Cashew Caramel Modak are a delicious and amazing combination of nutty flavours cashews and coconut. These pyramid-shaped cashew sweets are filled with a gooey coconut filling in the centre. The best part? The coconut filling is flavoured with caramel. The amazing and rich tastes and texture will make your taste buds dance.
This recipe is so easy to prepare that you might want to include your kids to make this experience more enjoyable. In the past, I have made a few variations of modak and this has to be one of our family favourites.
For the outer layer ( exterior) instead of rice flour, I thought of using cashews and for the filling, I picked caramel instead of jaggery. And guess what? They were a huge hit, I made about 15 modak and they were gone within a couple of hours.

CASHEW CARAMEL MODAK
ingredients:
- 300g cashew meal -ground cashew powder
- 6 tbsp. full-fat milk powder
- 200 g desiccated coconut
- ½ tin or 200ml sweetened condensed milk
- ½ tin or 200ml caramel
- 2 tsp. ghee or unsalted butter
instructions:
How to cook CASHEW CARAMEL MODAK
- Place ground cashew powder in a non-stick pan, add condensed milk and 1 tsp. ghee.
- Mix well and cook the mixture over medium heat until everything combines well.
- Add milk powder to make a firm dough and turn off the heat.
- Transfer the mixture to another plate and bring it to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, prepare coconut and caramel filling.
- Add desiccated coconut in a non-stick pan and dry roast for a few minutes without burning it.
- Add caramel and combine everything.
- Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool for a while.
- Apply little ghee on your palm and knead the coconut mixture to make a smooth dough and divide the dough into equal portions and make a ball.
- I have used modak mould to prepare modak.
- Grease the inside of the mould with little ghee.
- Put one ball into the mould, and press the mould tightly.
- Then make a hole by pressing with your fingers.
- Add coconut mixture and slightly press everything.
- Pinch a little cashew dough from the remaining balls and seal the open part of the modak.
- Remove it from the mould and repeat the procedure with the remaining dough and mixture.
- Let it stand for a couple of hours. Enjoy!
NOTES:
Don't have modak mould? make round balls instead and stuff it with caramel mixture.
