CONDENSED MILK COCONUT BURFI


Burfi/Barfi is a dense milk based sweet from the Indian subcontinent. The name barfi was derived from the Persian word "barf" which means snow. The main ingredients are usually sugar and condensed milk which is cooked until the mixture solidifies. Burfi flavour is usually enhanced with fruits like coconut or mango; nuts like pistachios, peanuts or cashew nuts and spices like cardamom or rose water. The sweets are usually cut into round, diamond or square shapes and are mostly served in India all year round but mostly  consumed during religious festivals, wedding ceremonies or holiday season like Diwali. Barfis come in different varieties that include sing barfi made with peanuts, besan barfi made with gram flour, pista barfi made with pistachios and kaaju barfi made from cashews. I must confess I am a sweet tooth so I wanted to give Indian sweets a go. These yummy coconut bars are just the perfect treat for a midday snack or even for the kids back to school treat. Had such a fun time making these I will definitely be giving other barfi flavours a try!

MAKE CONDENSED MILK AT HOME

make-condensed-milk-at-home-nairobi-kitchen-recipe

I love making home made recipes of products that you buy in the store. I stumbled upon a recipe for making homemade ice cream and it needed condensed Milk. So my search began for this Condensed Milk, I couldn't find it! I literally went to every supermarket near home and in town. I just couldn't find it! I remembered I had seen it in one of the Tuskys Supermarkets but then I really had no interest in it. Now that I was looking for it, it was nowhere to be found. How now? I was going to make this ice cream come hell or high water so i searched if I could substitute the condensed Milk but that was not possible, so I had to search again for homemade Condensed Milk.I found one here form one of my favorite chefs that I stalk follow and watch her You Tube channel. So I made the condensed Milk and now I am ready to make my Ice cream! It's a simple recipe but requires you to be there and watch carefully so that the Milk does not crystallize. Here it is.
