Ice Cream Burfi

A soft and delicious Indian sweet made with milk powder, ghee, sugar syrup, and flavored with vanilla sugar, topped with nuts. This burfi has a silky smooth texture and a rich milky flavor.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a mixer jar, combine 3 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract; grind to a fine powder to make vanilla sugar and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix 4 cups milk powder and 1 cup ghee until well combined; add the prepared vanilla sugar and mix well.
  3. In a large pan, combine 1¼ cup sugar and ½ cup water; stir and boil until sugar dissolves and reaches one-string consistency.
  4. On low flame, add the milk powder mixture to the sugar syrup; stir continuously until well combined.
  5. Add ¼ cup butter and mix well to enhance flavor and softness.
  6. Cook on low flame, stirring continuously, until the mixture turns silky smooth and releases ghee; test by making a small ball that is non-sticky and holds shape.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a tray lined with baking paper; top with pistachios and almonds and press to level.
  8. Let it rest for 2 hours or until completely cooled.
  9. Cut into pieces and serve.

Notes

Using melted ghee helps achieve a smooth texture. Adding butter enhances the milky flavor and softness. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
