Horlicks Burfi! Yes You read it right! 🙂 This Burfi is a melt in the mouth burfi made with besan/chickpea flour as the base along with Horlicks. See tips section if you are not a fan of Horlicks. I had a pack of Horlicks lying in my pantry since a long time. Made good use of it here. All of us loved it. This is a simple sweet which even beginners can try. Do check out the quick video.

[Preparation Time-5 mins : Cooking Time- 20 mins]

Horlicks Burfi Ingredients:

• Besan/Chickpea Flour – 3/4 cup
• Chocolate Horlicks – 1/4 cup (see tips)
• Sugar – 1 cup
• Water – 1/4 cup
• Ghee – 1/2 cup
• Badam – to garnish (optional)

Method:

• Take besan/chickpeas and seive it to remove lumps. Dry roast it in a pan until u get a nice aroma. Keep it aside. This step is very important. Do not skip it.

• Take sugar in the same pan and add water. Let the sugar dissolve and come to a boil. Check if it has reached one string consistency as in the picture below.

• Add the dry roasted besan and chocolate horlicks. Mix quickly and continuously so that there are no lumps. Add ghee in intervals and keep mixing. Keep the flame in low-medium always.

• It will get frothy, thick and start leaving the sides of the pan. This is the correct stage. Transfer it to a greased tray. Garnish with crushed badam and press gently. Let it cool a bit. Make slices while it is still warm.

Thats it! Melt in the mouth Horlicks Burfi ready.

Enjoy with your family and friends.

Tips:

1. Roasting the chickpea flour until u get a nice aroma is very important. Do not skip it. Else the burfi will have a raw smell.
2. I have used Chocolate Horlicks. U can use Bournvita, boost or even milo. If u do not like chocolate flavour use plain Horlicks.
3. The burfi will be melt in the mouth if switched off at the right consistency. If u overcook it will get hard.
4. Garnishing with nuts is totally optional.
