Peanut Coconut Burfi

In the world of Pakistani sweets, Burfi is a very common dessert consumed during Indian festivals and to celebrate special occasions. The preparation and ingredients can vary–mango, chocolate, pistachio, walnut, saffron, rosewater, cashew are all popular flavours.

Burfi is fudge-like made with sugar, nuts, coconut, ghee, spices and sometimes chick pea flour or condensed milk, depending on the recipe. Downing a piece of Burfi usually leaves me feeling heavy.
