Chocolate Burfi
2 Layer Chocolate Burfi is an Indian version of fudge made by cooking milk solids along with sugar. This easy Indian sweet is perfect for Diwali, Holi, etc.
Ingredients
- Unsweetened Khoya / Mawa (Concentrated Milk Solids) - 1 Cup
- Sugar - ⅓ Cup
- Rose essence - 2 drops
- Cardamom Powder - 1 small pinch
- Cocoa Powder - 1 tsp
- Ghee - ½ tsp
- Chopped Pistachio - For garnish
Instructions
- First, bring the khoya to room temperature and crumble. Heat a pan in low-medium, add the crumbled khoya and sugar.
- Keep stirring continuously until combined well and you get a loose halwa like consistency.
- At this stage add the cardamom powder, rose essence and continue to keep stirring continuously.
- 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.
- Add cocoa powder to the remaining mixture and fold well until all the cocoa has blended well. Let the mixture cool down a bit until you will be able to handle with hand.
- Now, grease your palm with ghee and knead the white portion of the burfi nicely until you get a smooth ball. On a greased aluminium foil, spread it out into a ¼ inch thick rectangle using your fingers.
- Now, repeat the same with the chocolate portion of the burfi. Place the chocolate portion over the white portion and press gently. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top and press them gently. Let the burfi cool down completely to room temperature, before cutting it into smaller cubes.
- Enjoy.
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.
