Method
Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over a low heat. Add the condensed milk and double cream, then add the peanut butter and mix thoroughly for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is well combined.
Add the milk powder a little at a time, whisking thoroughly until the mixture becomes a smooth fudge consistency. Add the stem ginger and half the almonds and mix.
Line a 28x20cm/11x8in baking dish with greaseproof paper and pour the barfi mixture into the lined baking dish.
