Ice Cream Burfi

Print Recipe

A soft and flavorful Indian milk-based sweet made with milk powder, ghee, sugar syrup, and vanilla sugar, garnished with nuts. It has a creamy texture reminiscent of ice cream and is a popular dessert for festivals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cups milk powder
  • 1 cup ghee (can increase up to 1.5 cup for softer burfi)
  • 1¼ cup sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup butter
  • Chopped pistachios and almonds for topping

Instructions

  1. Grind 3 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract together to make vanilla sugar; set aside.
  2. Mix 4 cups milk powder and 1 cup ghee thoroughly; add vanilla sugar and mix well; keep aside.
  3. In a large pan, combine 1¼ cups sugar and ½ cup water; stir till sugar dissolves and boil until one-string consistency sugar syrup forms.
  4. On low flame, add the milk powder mixture to the sugar syrup; stir continuously to combine.
  5. Add ¼ cup butter and mix well to enhance flavor and softness.
  6. Cook on low heat, stirring until mixture becomes silky smooth and releases ghee; check by forming a non-sticky ball that holds shape.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a tray lined with baking paper; press level and garnish with chopped pistachios and almonds.
  8. Let it rest for 2 hours or until completely cool and set.
  9. Cut into pieces and serve.

Notes

Adding more ghee makes the burfi softer. Butter enhances the milky flavor and softness. Store in the refrigerator, and the burfi keeps well for up to one week.
