How To Make Chocolate Burfi?
Making chocolate burfi is easy and quick too. You need a sturdy pan that has a heavy bottom and a good stirrer. Use good quality ingredients for best chocolate burfi.
Combine milk powder, condensed milk and cocoa powder first. Start cooking it in low flame, adding ghee 1 teaspoon at at time after every 3 minutes. Stir and cook for around 10 minutes or until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan. Knead the mixture well while it is still warm and spread into a circle of desired thickness. Make slices with sharp knife and serve.
Recipe Notes and Tips:
Adding ghee is just for flavor. You can reduce or omit it too.
Do not cook the mixture for more than 8 minutes. It will dry out and crumble while kneading.
Knead the mixture well while it is warm else it will dry out and crumble.
If you find the mixture very sticky while kneading, return it back to the pan and stir for 2 more minutes.
If you find the mixture to be very dry means it is over cooked. In that case return it to the pan and add 2-3 tablespoons milk, cook in low flame for 2 minutes and proceed.
This chocolate burfi tastes very good with a mild chocolate and ghee flavor. It tastes just like those little sqaures of homemade chocolate. Do try this out and enjoy!
