Khajur Burfi

Khajur Burfi is a rich, healthy Indian sweet made with dates, condensed milk, coconut, and dry fruits — naturally sweet, chewy, and perfect for festive indulgence.

Ingredients

1. 1 tin condensed milk
2. 1 kg dates (khajur), deseeded
3. 250 g mixed dry fruits (almonds, cashews, pistachios)
4. ½ cup desiccated coconut

Instructions

1. Prepare the Base Mixture

   • Coarsely break the deseeded dates into small pieces.
   • Combine dates, condensed milk, and chopped dry fruits in a heavy-bottomed non-stick pan.
   • Cook on a slow flame, stirring continuously to avoid sticking to the bottom.

2. Cook the Mixture

   • Keep stirring gently as the mixture thickens.
   • Continue cooking until it forms a soft, cohesive lump that leaves the sides of the pan.
   • Ensure the mixture doesn’t burn or overcook.

3. Shape the Burfi

   • Spread some desiccated coconut evenly on a sheet of butter paper.
   • Grease your hands lightly with ghee.
   • Take a portion of the cooked mixture and roll it into a thick cylindrical log on the butter paper.
   • Roll the log over the coconut to coat it evenly on all sides.

4. Set and Cut

   • Chill the rolls in the refrigerator until firm.
   • Slice them into round pieces for burfi rolls.
   • Alternatively, spread the warm mixture into a greased tray, flatten it evenly, and let it set before cutting into square pieces.

5. Serve

   • Serve Khajur Burfi chilled or at room temperature.
   • Perfect as a guilt-free sweet treat, it’s packed with the natural goodness of dates and nuts — no added sugar needed!
