Chocolate Barfi

Easy and super chocolaty Chocolate Barfi is the best Barfi that you've had in a while. These Barfis are made using Dairy Milk Chocolate and Reduced Milk. It makes for a perfect dessert for Indian festivals and special occasions like Raksha Bandhan, Ganpati, or Diwali.

Whenever it's the festival season, I love to hit the kitchen to make some delicious desserts. Desserts are my favorite! I love making them.

And Indian Desserts are so fun to make. I feel so passionate about making Indian desserts. They aren't easy but they sure are so much fun to make. Right!

Instructions on making Chocolate Ladoo

STEP 1: REDUCE THE MILK

• Pour milk in a thick bottom wok or kadhai
• Allow the milk to simmer for 10-15 minutes
• Keep stirring to scrape off the sides and reduce the milk to half

STEP 2: ADD MILK POWDER & SUGAR

• Now, add the Ghee, Milk Powder and Sugar to the milk.
• Stir to combine.
• Stir continuously using a whisk so that there are no lumps formed

STEP 3: ADD CHOCOLATE

• Now, add Dairy milk Chocolate or any Chocolate you love
• If you're adding Dark Chocolate, then balance it with the amount of sugar you're using
• Stir until the mixture thickens
• Make sure that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.

STEP 4: SET THE BARFI

• Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with ghee
• Pour the barfi mixture in this dish
• Even out the top using a spatula
• Tap to remove all the excess air bubbles
• Place in the refrigerator and refrigerate overnight or atleast 3-4 hours.

STEP 5: CUT AND SERVE

• Use a sharp knife to cut the Barfi diagonally
• Top with Silver Vark (If using)
• Serve immediately.

Remember to keep stirring occasionally so that nothing gets stuck to the bottom of the pan. Kee the heat to medium heat only.

Hint: Add enough ghee to the milk so that nothing gets stuck to the bottom of the pan. The Ghee will make sure that no milk solid gets stuck to the bottom of the pan.

Substitutions

• Khoya - instead of milk powder, you can use Khoya, Add it directly in the pan and skip uisng milk and milk powder. Add the Khoya with ghee and cook it until fragrant, before you add the sugar and chocolate.
• Low Fat Milk - You can use Low fat Milk as well, however, it will take longer time to reduce. So, allow it to simmer over medium-low heat for a longer time until it reduces.
• Nuts - If you want, you can add Nuts in this Barfi as well. Add finely chopped nuts, right when youre adding the chocolate. Toss to combine everything and then allow it to set.

Storage

You can store this Chocolate Barfi in the refrigerator for 1 week. However, I won't suggest you store this for a long period of time as this is made with milk and milk doesn't store well for long.
