Indulge in the rich, aromatic flavors of homemade carrot halwa, a classic Indian dessert made from grated carrots, milk, sugar, and ghee. This delightful sweet treat is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored to savor its deliciousness for longer.
Storage Time
3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2 months in the freezer.
Temperature
Store refrigerated at 0–4°C (32–40°F). For longer storage, freezing is recommended.
Freezing
To freeze carrot halwa, allow it to cool completely. Portion it into airtight containers or freezer-safe bags, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and gently reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally for best texture. Freezing may slightly alter the texture, making it a bit softer.
Signs of Spoilage
- Unpleasant sour or fermented smell.
- Visible mold growth on the surface.
- Slimy or mushy texture that deviates from its original consistency.
