Chocolate Burfi

Chocolates! Who doesn’t like them? I love anything that has a hint of chocolate in it. Whenever I am having an ice cream or a pastry I would definitely go for one which has some chocolate flavor in it. There is a shop in Bangalore Called Chocolate Junction; they have a great range of yummy chocolates. I always visit that shop when I am here.

I wanted to try my hand at making these yummy treats at home. Anything made at home is very special isn’t it? I got this recipe from an aunt of mine who is an excellent cook herself. Actually, I think good cooking runs in the family. All the ladies in my family cook really well. Coming back to the recipe, this is a very basic recipe and requires few ingredients. It gets ready in just about 10 minutes. Believe me! So what are we waiting for? Let’s get started

What you’ll need

1. Milk Powder – 2 ½ cups (I used Everyday Dairy Whitener)
2. Cocoa Powder – ¾ cup
3. Sugar – 1 ½ cups (increase or decrease depending on your taste by ½ cup)
4. Cooking / Unsalted Butter – 100 gms

Method

1. Mix milk powder, cocoa powder well and keep it aside.
2. Place a non stick kadai on heat. Add the sugar and dissolve it in ½ a cup of water. Let it reach one string consistency.
3. Now add the butter to the sugar syrup and mix well.
4. Remove from heat and add in the cocoa and milk powder mixture stirring constantly.
5. The whole this will come without sticking to the pan.
6. Now pour this mixture on to a greased plate.
7. Let it cool for about 5 minutes. With a greased knife mark out the pieces.
8. Refrigerate for about ½ hour.

Cut and devour these yummy treats.
