Best Ricotta Cheese Burfi Fudge Recipes
BARFI
Barfi (or burfi) is a fudge-like Indian candy that's typically served at celebrations, from birthdays to Diwali. Our homage to the classic confection starts with ricotta cheese and butter instead of the traditional condensed milk and ghee, then adds cardamom for flavor and pistachios for crunch.

Steps:
- Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
- Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ricotta and stir with a rubber spatula until butter and ricotta are incorporated. Add milk powder and sugar; mix well to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring often, until mixture is very thick and begins to form a dough that moves together in a single mass when stirred, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in cardamom and pistachios. Transfer mixture to prepared dish and pat into an even 3/4-inch thickness (you will only use about 60 percent of dish's surface area). Let cool to room temperature. Lift barfi from pan using parchment; cut into diamonds. Garnish with gold leaf, if desired, and more pistachios. Barfi can be stored, covered, in refrigerator up to 1 week.

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.
