Are you looking for a quick dessert to prepare for this Diwali or Holi? Or some guests suddenly show up at your home? If you are wondering what dessert to make, then this Instant Milk Powder Burfi is a go-to recipe prepared in under 15 minutes. Burfi is also sometimes written as Barfi. Kids will surely enjoy this soft, moist, melt-in-the-mouth type of Barfi. My daughter loves these burfi’s and also Kaju Katli. Since they are a healthy alternative to chocolates, I often pack them for the school lunch box as a snack. Another healthy snack I often pack is Caramel Makhana.
What is Milk Powder Burfi?
Milk powder Burfi or Milk Burfi is a homemade milk powder fudge made with store-bought milk powder, milk, ghee, and sugar. Flavoring agents like cardamom powder or saffron are often used to enhance the flavor, but they are optional.
Ingredients
How to Make Milk Powder Burfi
Either grease a tray with ghee or line a tray with parchment/butter paper. Set aside. Heat a nonstick pan on low heat. Add ghee, milk, and milk powder. Then, stir thoroughly with a spatula to combine and make sure no lumps are formed. Add sugar and stir to combine well. The mixture may become slightly thinner. Now, increase the heat to medium-low. Stir continuously for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes thick. It’s important to keep stirring to achieve the perfect texture. Once the ghee starts leaving the sides of the mixture and you get the right consistency, switch off the heat; otherwise, the burfi will be chewy. To check the right consistency, take a pinch (it will be hot), and roll it. If it forms a ball, then it means the mixture is ready to make burfi. Then add the cardamom powder and combine well. Transfer the milk powder burfi mixture and spread it evenly on the prepared greased tray. We are using a spatula coated with ghee to prevent the mixture from sticking to it. Sprinkle some chopped pistachios and almonds on top for garnishing, and press them gently down with a spoon. Cover the tray with cling wrap and let it set well for 1-2 hours. If you are in a hurry, you can also put it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to cool down quickly. Once cooled, take a sharp knife, apply some ghee on it, cut into small squares, and enjoy milk powder barfi!
