    2 layer Chocolate Burfi

    Mar 12, 2015 · 2 Comments

    My 98th recipe, "2 layer Chocolate Burfi", an easy to make Indian sweet. Do we even need a reason to enjoy a delicious Indian sweet. Definitely I don't need one. And if it has to do anything with chocolate flavor, you can be sure that, I absolutely love it and I can have it anytime. But for folks who need one, my 100th post is fast approaching. Just 2 more recipes to go. Hurray !!! Time for a little celebration.

    While I am a huge fan of rasgullas, I don't mind an occasional milk sweet or burfi. However this burfi is a favorite of RK and my mom and today RK literally coaxed me into making this 2 layer Chocolate burfi. Burfi is nothing but milk solids / khoya / mawa cooked along with sugar. I would call it an Indian version of a fudge. However the good thing about this sweet is that, it is very easy to make and needs just a few ingredients. You can also customize it easily and incorporate any flavor you like. Once you make this sweet, you would never want to buy sweets from the stall again 🙂

    • At a stage the mixture will tighten up and will form a ball. Turn off the stove. Transfer ¾ of the mixture to a separate plate and let it cool.

    Notes | FAQ

    - The whole cooking process should take place in low-medium, or else the khoya will burn.
    - Do not keep stirring the mixture for a long time after it reaches the consistency. The burfi will become hard and chewy. If you are not really sure, it is actually better to under cook rather than overcook.
    - If you are in a hurry, you can also refrigerate the burfi for a few minutes before cutting into smaller cubes. But do not refrigerate for long, it will harden the burfi.
