Transfer the mixture to a pot over low heat, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom.

After 7-8 minutes, the mixture thickens and becomes translucent.

Quickly add vegan butter, cardamom powder, and rose water to the pot.

Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch pie pan and flatten the top.

Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for a couple of hours or overnight to set.

Once set, cut into desired shapes and garnish with slivered pistachios, slivered almonds, and ground walnuts.
