Ingredients
For the vanilla layer:
- ¾ cup milk powder
- ⅓ cup milk
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- 1 and ½ tablespoon melted ghee
- ½ teaspoon vanilla essence
For the chocolate layer:
- ¾ cup milk powder
- ⅓ cup milk
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- 1 and ½ tablespoon melted ghee
- 1 and ½ teaspoon coco powder
- 1 tablespoon choco chips
- 1 tablespoon chopped nuts
Instructions
- Heat ghee in a pan, add milk. Add vanilla essence.
- Immediately add milk powder and whisk well to avoid lumps.
- Once it becomes smooth paste add powdered sugar. Whisk well. Now keep cooking in low flame. It starts to thicken first.
- It will then start to leave the sides of the pan, grease your hands with ghee and try rolling a tiny pinch if it rolls into a ball easily without sticking then this is the right stage to switch off.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased pan. Level it with a ghee greased spatula. Set aside.
- Now add 2 teaspoon of water to cocoa powder, make a smooth paste and keep it ready.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2. Instead of adding vanilla essence add cocoa powder paste and mix well.
- Add choco chips and mix well. It will start to thicken.
- Then leave the sides of the pan. It will be glossy and easily come together.
- Grease your hands with ghee and try rolling a tiny pinch if it rolls into a ball easily without sticking then this is the right stage to switch off. If it sticks then cook for few more mins.
- Transfer the mixture to the pan over the vanilla layer.
- Pat it well with a ghee greased spatula. Sprinkle mixed nuts over it and press it slightly.
- Allow it to set in fridge at least for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Then cut into small squares and serve Vanilla Chocolate Barfi!
Notes
- Cooking the mixture – I usually cook the mixture in low flame so it thickens slowly and evenly.
- Checking correct stage – I grease my fingers with ghee and try rolling tiny portion of mixture. If it rolls into soft ball without sticking, the mixture is ready for setting.
- Avoid lumps – While adding milk powder you should whisk continuously so that lumps does not form. Smooth mixture will give better barfi texture after it sets.
- Layer setting – I spread the vanilla mixture evenly in the pan before adding chocolate layer. Press it gently with greased spatula so the layers remain even.
- Chilling time – I cut the barfi after resting in refrigerator. If cut immediately it may feel slightly sticky while slicing.
