Chocolate Burfi is a very easy burfi that even beginners can try, it just melts in your mouth, so soft and textured that I loved it instantly. The fact that this burfi also requires very little ghee made me to try it instantly….I used my maida burfi as base recipe for this chocolate burfi and it came out soo good.I just tried with a very small quantity as its the first time I am trying, chocolate burfi will sure be a perfect treat for kids and chocolate lovers like me 🙂
Chocolate Burfi Recipe
Preparation Time:5 mins | Cooking Time : 15 mins | Makes:6 burfis
Recipe Category: Sweets | Recipe Cuisine: Indian
Recipe Category: Sweets | Recipe Cuisine: Indian
Milk powder – 1/4 cup heaped
Unsweetened Coco powder – 1 tsp
Sugar – 1/3 cup
Water – 1/4 cup
Melted Ghee – 2 tsp + for greasing
Pistachios – 4 chopped finely
Method:
- Grease a plate with ghee and keep it ready before you start cooking.Mix milk powder and coco powder together, whisk it well so that it gets mixed evenly.In a pan – add sugar and water, stir well so that sugar completely dissolves.
- Let the syrup boil till the syrup reaches single string consistency….when you take the syrup between your fingers it should form a thin single string as shown that is the correct stage.It will be hot so be very careful.Now add milkpowder coco mixture and mix well, keep mixing…in few seconds it will become thick but still in flowing consistency…this is the correct stage.Add ghee,give a quick mix and switch off.
- Transfer the mixture to a ghee greased plate, level it with a back of a spoon of greased ziplock for a smoother finish on top.Garnish with chopped pistachios or any nuts of your choice.When it is still warm, cut into squares.
Cool down and store in airtight container.
My Notes:
- Use good quality coco powder for good flavour and color.
- I used everyday brand milk powder.If your milk powder is coarse then grind it once to make it a fine powder.
- The sugar syrup will be hot so be careful while touching it. Else you can check it with a laddle and see.I find checking with fingers easy as I’ve been doing this for a while now so got used to this method.
- Choose a plate according to the quantity so that you can get perfect thickess and shape.
- The mixture will thicken fast so act quickly.Once milk powder mixture is added keep stirring to get the desired consistency.
- You can even leave it as such without nuts, but if you are adding nuts add it immediately while its still hot else it will not stick to the burfi.
- Keeps well for 4-5 days, after that refrigerate it.

Hi, tried your recipe, though taste was good, it was not melt in mouth but lil bit on chewy side…can you pls tell me what could have gone wrong…
I think if its overcooked it becomes chewy…..
Hi Sharmi what brand cocoa powder did u use?
I used Parry brand coco powder for this….But I believe it is available only in whole sale shops
Seems very simple to make. I should try this recipe. I make burfi with ricotta cheese
Hi Sharmi, my daughter loves chocolate burfi so I want to make more burfis at one time. Will doubling the contents effect taste? Pls advice
No NO it will not affect the taste just double everything
I always used to see in the net they always used condensed milk…….here i saw without condensed milk i felt very good…and i got a confidence that it will be easy..thank you for sharing this recipe mam
Hello sharmilee ji, i tried the chocolate burfi. It tasts good and also melts in mouth butit was loose and sticked to the tray. Even after keeping in fridge it was stiçky and difficult to remove from tray. Can u tell me the reason?
I think it is undercooked….because if you had cooked perfectly while pouring itself it hardens
Can we make this as two layers one like this and other with just the milk powder?
Yes you can do that too
Hi Sharmi,
Thank you so much for the recipe. The chocolates came out very well.
Thanks a lot …my kids will like it Sharmi.
Can I use milk instead of milk? If yes, how much?
No milk powder cant be replaced here
Hi, Thank you for the recipe. The burfis tasted very good but were a little hard and very difficult to cut into pieces. Can you suggest what to do?
If the sugar string consistency passes next stage then the burfis may turn hard.
Thank you. Will keep that in mind when I try it the next time.
nice
Mine became chewy..can anything b done to rectify it..tastes good though..
Now cant do anything Nimmy….May be u must have missed the sugar consistency
