Sal mubarak (Happy New Year)! Barfi is a traditional Hindu dessert (mithai) made from powdered milk, but these delicious treats are made from ground almonds instead. It wouldn’t feel festive without lots of sweet food…so enjoy!
Preparation time: 3 hours (including cooling time)
Ingredients (Serves 6 pieces):
- 1 1/2 tbsp Lucy Bee Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
- 200g ground Almonds
- 2 1/2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp water
- 35g Organic Milq Chocolate
Method:
- Add the coconut oil, almonds, honey and water to a sauce pan and heat until the mixture becomes thick and more moldable
- Lay cling film inside a small container (around 10cmx5cm) and lightly oil the cling film
- Place in the container lined with cling film and spread into a layer 1inch in height
- Place in the freezer for approx. 2 hours or until firm enough that it cannot be dented with a finger
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave in 20 second increments until the chocolate is a smooth liquid
- Cut the barfi into 6 pieces, or smaller if you prefer
- Pour the chocolate over the top surface of the barfi and run a knife in-between the pieces cut in step 6 (this prevents the chocolate cracking when you pick the barfi up)
- Place in the freezer for another one hour until the chocolate is hardened
- Turn the barfi out onto a plate and peel the cling film away from the bottom
- Cut the barfi along the edges originally made in step 6 (the marks will be clear on the underside of the barfi)
- Turn them over so they are chocolate side up
- Enjoy my Little Peas!
