It is easy and quick Indian sweet to make for any festive occasion throughout the year like Holi, Janamashtmi, Ganpati, and Diwali. Chocolate burfi is perfect for kids and easy to make at home. On Diwali we distribute Indian sweets to friends and family and chocolate burfi is always among one of the chosen one sweet.  Chocolate burfi with milk powder, chocolate burfi with condensed milk are other variations to make this.

To make this chocolate burfi you need khoya or mawa, sugar, cardamom for aroma, chocolate for the top layer and few chopped nuts for garnishing. It is a creamy and chocolate in flavor sweet which melts in the mouth.

The first layer is a simple mawa or khoya layer which is sweet and flavored with cardamom.  Set it aside in a greased surface to cool down until we make a chocolate layer. Prepare the top layer by adding cocoa powder, sugar, and cardamom. Pour it over mawa layer and let it cool down. Garnish with chopped nuts and edible silver leaves. Cut in square pieces once at room temperature.

Important- Mawa quality which I used is frozen one. At room temperature, while cooking, it does not melt enough to dissolve sugar. For that, I had to use 1/4 cup milk so that sugar gets dissolve.

Recipe Notes

2. Adjust sugar level as per taste.
3. Replace khoya or mawa with the same quantity of milk powder.

I referred RuchiKitchen, JagrutiCookingOdyssy and Nisha Madhulika blog to start with. But due to khoya quality, two attempts were gone to make this perfect chocolate barfi. Finally made my changes by adding milk in the khoya itself and gram measurement which later I measured into cups. Now, this makes my perfect chocolate burfi even if I use milk powder.
