🧾 Ingredient Notes

Here is the pic of ingredients need to make simple, easy walnut burfi. You’ll need only 4 ingredients (walnut, desiccated coconut, cocoa powder and condensed milk).

• Cocoa powder: Here I am using unsweetened cocoa powder (Hershey’s). The color and taste of your burfi purely depend on the type and quality of your cocoa powder.
• Condensed milk: It adds sweetness, richness and also works as a binding agent. Traditionally khoya (mawa) is used to make burfi like this chocolate burfi. But this one is different but too good.

👩‍🍳 How To Make Walnut Burfi? (Pics)

1) Take walnuts in a pan and dry roast them with stirring constantly on medium-low heat. It may take around 7-8 minutes.

2) Once done remove it to a bowl or plate and let them cool. Meantime, grease the plate or container in which you are going to set the burfi and keep it aside. Once cooled down, make a coarse powder using a grinder with pulsing motion. NOTE: Do not grind it finely because walnut gives bitter taste if ground for longer and it releases oil.

3) In the same pan, add sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder. Turn the heat on medium.

4) Mix well and bring it to a simmer.

5) Then add dry coconut and coarsely ground walnuts.

6) Mix and continue cooking with stirring constantly for 3-4 minutes. Or until the mixture becomes thick and comes together like a dough. It also leaves the sides of the pan.

8) Remove this walnut burfi mixture to a greased tray, evenly spread and smooth out the surface.

9) Let it cool down and set. Then cut into squares using a sharp knife.

Here I have made half batch only, hence only 9 squares.
