Description

A classic Indian dessert that’s sweet, delicious and easy to make for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Ricotta Cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 3 cups Dry Milk Powder
  • 2 cups Mango Pulp (canned)
  • 1-½ teaspoon Ground Cardamom
  • 1 pinch Ground Nutmeg

Preparation

Additional notes:
Mango pulp is relatively sweet, so you shouldn’t need a lot of added sugar, but feel free to add sugar to taste.
Use a spoon that is comfortable to hold. You’ll be stirring almost the entire time!

Start by toasting the ricotta cheese in a saucepan over medium heat for 10 minutes. You need to stir it the entire time.

Once it starts drying out, add the butter and the dry milk powder and stir, and once that’s incorporated and starts drying out, add the mango pulp.

Stir for 15 minutes then add the cardamom and the nutmeg. Taste the mixture to see if you need to add more sugar. Keep stirring until it starts pulling away from the sides of the saucepan, or until it starts taking shape.

To test it, take a little bit of the mixture and drop it on a plate. If you can touch the mixture without it sticking to your fingers, it’s done.

Pour into a greased pie pan or sheet pan and spread into an even layer. Cover and put it in the fridge to harden for 2-3 hours.

Optional garnishes are slivered almonds, crushed pistachios or edible foil.

Cut into squares and serve.

This was very interesting to make and eat! I don’t think mine got firm enough, so it was more like a fudge consistency. My mango puree wasn’t very sweet, so I used about a cup of sugar, but next time I would probably use more to cover up the dry milk powder taste. I also added vanilla because the mango flavor wasn’t very strong. All in all, I’m not sure I would make this again unless an experienced “burfi maker” could guide me along the cooking process. Maybe I just don’t have the touch!
