CHOCOLATE DIVINE SPHERES (base As Burfi)

Barfi, barfee, or burfi is a dense milk based sweet confectionery from South Asia, a type of mithai. Originally from India, the name is a derivative of the Persian word barf, which means snow. The main ingredients of plain barfis include condensed milk and sugar. The ingredients are cooked in a vessel until the mixture solidifies.

Chocolate Burfi is a very easy burfi that even beginners can try, it just melts in your mouth, so soft and textured that I loved it instantly.

It is a very easy and tasty Indian dessert . It can be eaten warm or cold .

Step 6: ENJOY,EAT & ENJOY !!!

The confection is served in India, all year round, but especially consumed during the holiday seasons, wedding ceremonies, and the religious festivals.[2] Barfi is served quite often at Diwali. This is the celebration of the Hindu festival of lights. The traditional Hindu cuisine is an important part of these annual festivities, along with firework displays and specially crafted decorative lamps.

It can be also used as a treat in a tea or kitty party.
