Best Ricotta Cheese Burfi Fudge Recipes

RICOTTA CHEESE BURFI

Steps:

• Melt butter in a deep pan.
• Add ricotta cheese, stirring until smooth, for about 2-3 minutes.
• Add condensed milk.
• Turn heat to LOW, heat the entire mixture for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add almonds and/or pistachios. (I added some coconut chopped super-fine with pistachios).
• EITHER: pour mixture into a square pan, let set in fridge for 4 hours, cut into squares.
• OR: Let cool in fridge, serve ice-cream sized scoop, garnished with whole pistachio or almond.

RICOTTA CHEESE ALMOND FLOUR BURFI

Steps:

• Add a teaspoon of ghee to the non stick pan and spread it all around the pan. Now add the ricotta cheese, almond flour, sugar and condensed milk. Mix all the ingredients with out any lumps. Turn on the stove.
• Initially the mixture will become watery. Continue cooking in medium flame, stirring often to avoid burnt bottom. If the mixture is splashing reduce the heat to low.
• When the mixture is half way cooked add ghee and mix it well. Scrape the sides and cook stirring often till the mixture slightly thickens.
• When you take a small portion of the mixture, you should be able to make a soft ball ( not hard ball). Its important that the mixture is still moist, if not the burfi will be hard after they are set. Add crushed cardamom and gently fold in.
• Place a parchment paper in a pan and pour the mixture and spread it evenly.
• Sprinkle some saffron and place half sliced almonds on the burfi. Set a side for 15 minutes and place the pan in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove from the fridge, and cut the burfi to squares. If the mixture is sticking, you may want to wipe the knife in between to get clean pieces.
