While burfi is the indian combination of thickened milk, sugar and nuts, we have the western yummy version of the same called fudge! and also burfi is lovingly called “indian fudge” overseas and loved as much as the local version. Now we also love their recipe and its common to see big malls in india having a small outlet consisting of jars of candies and fudge in varied types – peanut butter, chocolate with nuts and plain chocolate as well. I tried making this with white chocolate and had a spectacular result as i got a drool worthy and yummilicious fudge with loads and loads of complements from those who had it! as i love almonds and chocolate, i put almond flakes. Pistachios, walnuts, hazel nuts and macadamia nuts can be added as well as dry fruits like raisins, cranberries and dried blueberries, blackberries and red currants. I have used morde cooking chocolate but branded chocolates available e.g. Lindt can also be used. Alternatively use white chocolate chips easily available. Use a 20×20 cm square cake tin/tray or any other plate/thali available. This is a wonderful gift for kids’ parties or festivals like christmas even diwali for an unusual but delicious present!.
