Chocolate Burfi

I know, I know, I said I am going away and won't be posting anything. But I just had to share this recipe with you. For those who don't know what burfi is I have tried to define it, this is what chocolate burfi means,

chocolate = bliss, divine, I-love-you-even-if-you-are-fat
burfi = awesome, drool, dribble
chocolate+burfi = Heaven

Now that the technical part is all done lets get down to business of making this piece of heaven.

Ingredients: Source- Amma
1 tin condensed milk
Cashewnuts a handful
Cocoa powder 1/2 C
Butter 50g
Sugar 3/4 C

1) Grease a plate or baking pan.
2) Toast the cashew nuts.
3) Add the condensed milk, cocoa powder, butter and sugar in a kadai or thick-bottom vessel.
4) Start to stir on low heat.
5) Stir, stir, stir...
6) The mixture will start to thicken and your arms will beg you to stop. Don't. You are burning 20Cal/min, keep going. Add the cashew nuts at this stage.
7) The mixture will start to come together as a ball- don't over do it, you will end up with chocolate itty-bitties!
8) Immediately pour into the greased plate.
9) Smooth the surface.
10) Cut it into the size and shape you want.
11) Cool completely.

If you find that when you cut the slices, the mixture is still gooey, take it back to the heat and stir again. If it crumbles horribly...well...then...its chocolate chips :|

I have not altered the pictures in anyway, they are straight out of the camera, so you should get the same colour!

    The pics are brilliant SJ - SOOC you say - even more awesome!

    So we should be able to cut the burfi when its still hot?? Hmm.. something tells me I may not get the consistency right the first time - I suck at making stuff that has to stop at a point and be of a certain consistency. But, I cannot but try this!

    Yummmmm!

    Not much of a sweet person but the pics are so great that you are tempting me to make them.The cashew nuts are to be chopped into small pieces or are the whole?

    Really nice and simple! I think the condensed milk will give a chewy texture--normal barfis use Khoya/mava (milk solids) and they turn out very soft...but i'd like to try this version.
