📖 Recipe Card
Chocolate Burfi
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup milk powder
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened coco powder
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 teaspoon melted ghee
- 4 nos pistachios chopped
Instructions
- 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 milk powder 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 zip lock 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 Chocolate Burfi in airtight container.
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 ladle 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 thickness 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.

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?
SHARMILEE J
I think it is undercooked….because if you had cooked perfectly while pouring itself it hardens
Deepa
While puring it did not harden. Now I have a plate full of flowy brown stuff. Can i put on stove again. Please help 😀
Sharmilee J
If it did not harden then the sugar syrup consistency is not perfect. The sugar syup should be one string only then the mixture will turn hard into burfis else it will be goey.
You can try cooking for few more mins but not really sure if it will become hard.

Can we make this as two layers one like this and other with just the milk powder?
SHARMILEE J
Yes you can do that too

Ishita Dessert Storm
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?
SHARMILEE J
If the sugar string consistency passes next stage then the burfis may turn hard.
Ishita Dessert Storm
Thank you. Will keep that in mind when I try it the next time.
WilliamKing

Nimmy J

Suja
Hi sharmi,
I used a standard cup measurement and my burfi ended up like a chewy and sticky halwa refusing to come out of the tray …I added some milk and some cashew powder again and heated it on flame did the stirring process again but no use ….same chewy sticky mixture ….
Sharmilee J
Chewy and sticky means the string consistency must have been missed and yes its hard to trouble shoot it if the sugar syrup consistency is missed. Guess you must have added the powder when its still in 1/2 string consistency.
