Kaju Katli by Jason Balkman

He calls it Cashew Nut Fudge. He writes-

Cashew Nut Fudge:
=================
3/2 cups unsalted cashews
3/2 cups boiling water
2 tbsp milk
2/3 cup zuccherro
1 tbsp ghee
1 tsp vanilla xtract
several sheets silver leaf

Pour boiling water over cashews
in a bowl & soak 1 hr. Grease
an 8x8" pan or line with wax
or parchment paper.

Drain cashews and food process
w/milk until smooth. stir in
zuccherro. melt ghee in a skillet
and add processed cashew paste
and cook 15-20 minutes, constantly
stirring. The paste will get
very thick and a little unmanageable.
Stop heating at this point.

Stir in vanilla xtract and lay
evenly into pan (easier said than
done. i soaked a spoon in hot water
to assist, otherwise the nutpaste
clings to everything). Cool 10
minutes or more. Press silver leaf
onto surface (also easier said than
done. silver leaf is difficult to
work with. i also used a little water
to get it to adhere better to the
nutpaste).

Cut fudge into diamond shapes using a wet
knife.
