Great recipe. As usual I modified like I do with almost every recipe I try. I added and stirred in quite a bit of dry fruit before adding condensed milk (raisins, almonds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds etc). Did not use sugar but added a tbs Honey to make it soft as my extra ingredients were making it too dry. Net result, amazing. Thanks for the recipe. Will be used quite often. Easy and taste to die for.

MILKMAID is a rich & smooth sweetened condensed milk - the dessert partner that helps you make a range of mouth-watering sweets at home - be it Kheer, ice creams or cakes. It's versatility lends itself well to both traditional & western desserts.
A popular method of making Burfi is with condensed milk. This negates the requirement to add sugar, since the condensed milk is sweet enough. Many recipes simply call for milk powder and condensed milk.
Sweetened condensed milk is high in calories and unsuitable for people with cow's milk protein allergy or lactose intolerance. Its sweet flavor may be off-putting for some and doesn't typically serve as a good substitute for regular milk in recipes.
Like milk, condensed milk is a good source of calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, vitamin A, riboflavin, phosphorus and protein. These nutrients are necessary for strong bones and teeth, a robust immune system and a healthy cardiovascular system.
Using the abundant supplies of fresh milk in Switzerland, they start Europe's first production facility for condensed milk. They sell the milk under the Milkmaid brand.
Condensed milk is considered the most useful sweetness, because it contains a lot of calcium and other useful minerals and vitamins, but unlike other sweet foods (cakes, marmalade, sweets and other confectionery), it does not contain yeast and food additives.
Barfi is one of many milk-based Indian sweets. Traditionally, it would have been made by slowly cooking milk down for hours until it condensed into the dough-like evaporated milk solids known as khoya or mawa. A quicker and easier way of making barfi starts with milk powder instead.
There are two reason for this, either it is not completely cooked or you had put that burfi mixture on flame while cooking for more than the required time after adding sugar into it.
This sweet is not an “indulgence” because it is truly healthy for you to consume, unlike dairy-laden traditional sweets. You will be over the moon to know you can finally have your favourite sweet without worrying about your health!
It is a popular creamy and rich Indian fudge dessert recipe made with gram flour or chickpea flour and sugar syrup. Besan Barfi is not just a sweet dessert but a symbol of rich Indian cultural and culinary heritage. It is believed to be originated centuries ago in India and has been passed on to generations.
This wonderful fudge-like sweet is made predominately with gram flour or chickpea flour (besan). Gram flour has a delightful nutty aroma and lends the burfi its characteristic grainy texture.
If dairy isn't an issue, heavy cream can substitute for condensed milk. But if you're avoiding dairy, the only thing that can sometimes substitute for condensed milk “as is” is full-fat coconut milk. However, full-fat coconut milk may not have the condensed milk consistency you're going for.
Although evaporated milk and condensed milk are both shelf-stable milk products that are produced in similar ways, they're not the same. The main distinction is the addition of sugar in condensed milk, which yields a different texture and flavor profile.
Condensed milk is evaporated milk that typically has sweetener added, so much so that the terms 'condensed milk' and 'sweetened condensed milk' are used interchangeably.
Evaporated milk and condensed milk are easy to mix up. They have similar names and appearances, and they're right next to each other on supermarket shelves.
