Grease an 8” square cake tin or plate. Line with parchment paper.

Grind walnuts and almonds to a smooth powder. Transfer into a medium-sized bowl and add in milk powder along with cardamom. Mix well.

Add water and sugar into a heavy based pan. Dissolve the sugar, bring to a boil, and then simmer on medium-low heat without mixing for 8-10 minutes. The liquid will bubble and become foamy and slightly thickened when ready.

Remove pan from the heat immediately. Stir the rose water into the dry ingredients in the bowl and immediately pour the sugar syrup into the dry ingredients. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly into the corners. Sprinkle over the chopped pistachios and press in with the back of a spoon. Leave to cool and set in the refrigerator overnight.
