chocolate burfi recipe is one of the easy and quick sweets that one can make in just 20 mins this diwali. Barfi or burfi is a Indian sweet fudge made mostly with milk, sugar and flavoring ingredients. Khoya or mawa are the milk solids got by condensing the milk till it thickens and reaches a solid consistency.

To make a homemade khoya or khoa lot of patience and time is needed which I do not have. So I generally prefer to buy from the Indian stores. You can make a simple khoya burfi or make a choco burfi. Sweeteners like raw cane sugar too can be used like I did to make chocolate kaju katli and chocolate sandesh. Since i made the two layer chocolate burfi, i had to use sugar. But if making a single layer barfi, you can use raw cane sugar.

chocolate burfi recipe can be made with flour or milk powder or nut powder. But nothing can beat the one made with mawa / khoya since it has all the richness of milk and milk alone.

NOTE: YOU CAN JUST INCREASE ONE TBSP. SUGAR THAN WHAT IS MENTIONED IN THE RECIPE. ADDING A LOT OF SUGAR RELEASES MORE MOISTURE AND THEN KHOYA HAS TO BE COOKED FOR LONG AND IT WILL DISCOLOR AND TURN STICKY.

How to make chocolate burfi recipe with step by step pictures

1. Bring the khoya to room temperature and crumble. Some brands of koya taste bitter or sometimes give a weird smell to the sweet, if you heat them while they are still cold. If you have frozen one, defrost it either in the refrigerator overnight or keep it at room temperature for few hours or defrost in microwave.

2. Add this to a nonstick pan, (remember to use a nonstick) begin to heat it on a very low flame or heat. Keep stirring constantly till the last step else the mixture will get burnt.

3. Once it is warm, add sugar, cardamom powder, and vanilla or rose water over the sugar. Keep stirring.

4. Sugar begins to melt and comes to a halwa like consistency. Continue to cook. Do not forget continue stirring.

5. After sometime it comes together like a mass and leaves the sides of the pan. It took me around 7 mins, but it depends on the kind of your pan or stove. So make sure it becomes like a mass and thick and not runny like halwa.

6. Grease a foil or you can use a butter paper.To make chocolate burfi, let the mix cool down completely, divide the mix to 2 parts, knead one of the parts to smooth dough, shape to a square on a foil. Add cocoa powder to the other part, grease your palms with coconut oil and knead it thoroughly for 3 mins. Place this over the first plain layer and add nuts. The layers stick together without much effort.

Notes

sweetness was just enough, you could increase by one tbsp. Adding too much sugar will release more moisture and have to overcook the khoya, it discolors and turns sticky.
you can decrease or increase cocoa powder based on the color while kneading
heating koya when it is very cold will make the burfi taste bitter

Loved your recipe.. but when I made it , it became too hard and both the khoya portions cracked. Do u know why that happened 😪

Hello, just done with making this ans letting it cool. Quick question. Is there any reason for refrigerating the sweet despite the fact that it’s well cooked? Just wanted to know if it can be stored at room temperature too.

So testy

They sound delicious 🙂
Unfortunately I can not find the mawa… How can I substitute it with milk powder?
Thanks

Is it a 1:1 substitution with the almond flour?

I got the powdered mawa, and only had coconut milk on hand. Added that and ghee, call continued the recipe from there and turned out great! The coconut milk was full fat, so I had hoped it’d be a good equlevant.

Looks great ?? just want to ask instead of coco powder can I use grated chocolate?

Easy tasty & delightful
