Easy Burfi (Milk Cake ) recipe

Ingredients:

  • 150 ml condensed milk
  • 3 cups full cream milk powder
  • 1 cup full cream milk
  • 1 tablespoon crushed pistachios (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon ghee
  • Optional: Crushed almonds for garnish

Instructions:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the full cream milk powder and full cream milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  • Gradually add the condensed milk while continuing to whisk. Ensure the mixture is well-blended and has a consistent texture.
  • Sprinkle in the cardamom powder and mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavour.
  • Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on low heat and add the ghee. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
  • Pour the milk mixture into the pan and start cooking on low heat. Stir the mixture continuously with a spatula to prevent it from sticking to the bottom or forming lumps.
  • Cook the mixture slowly, allowing it to thicken gradually. The key is to maintain a low temperature and consistent stirring, which will give the burfi a smooth and creamy texture.
  • As the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, continue cooking until it reaches a dough-like consistency. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Once the mixture has thickened to the right consistency, remove it from the heat.
  • Prepare a cake pan or a square dish by lining it with baking paper. Grease the paper lightly with ghee to prevent sticking.
  • Pour the cooked mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the surface.
  • While the mixture is still warm, sprinkle the crushed pistachios (and almonds, if using) on top. Press them gently into the surface with the back of a spoon.
  • Allow the burfi to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, place it in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to set completely.
  • Once the burfi has set, remove it from the pan by lifting the baking paper. Cut it into squares or your desired shape.
  • Garnish with extra pistachios or a dusting of cardamom powder for an added touch.
  • Tips for the Best Milk Cake:
  • Use high-quality milk powder for a richer taste.
  • Ensure that the heat is kept low throughout the cooking process to avoid burning.
  • For an extra indulgent flavour, you can add a few drops of rose water or saffron strands while cooking the mixture.

Enjoy this deliciously rich and aromatic Burfi that melts in your mouth!
