Strawberry Burfi | Strawberry Milk Fudge

Strawberry burfi is a sweet Indian delicacy that blends fresh strawberry puree with mawa (reduced milk solids) and sugar. The mixture is cooked to a fudge-like consistency, set in a tray, and garnished with freeze-dried strawberries. It's a unique twist on traditional burfi, highlighting the natural sweetness and vibrant color of strawberries.

Equipment

  • 7" cheesecake pan

Ingredients

  • 3 cups whole milk powder
  • 1 ⅛ cup strawberry puree
  • ¼ tsp black pepper ground
  • 6 Tbsp ghee
  • 1 ⅛ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries

Instructions

  • Crush the freeze dried strawberries into a powder by either transferring the strawberries to a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin or using a small spice grinder. Measure out ¼ cup and set aside.
  • Puree the strawberries in a blender until smooth. If using frozen strawberries, thaw in a microwave before blending.
  • In a medium bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the strawberry puree and the powdered sugar until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the milk powder and remaining 1 cup of strawberry puree. Mix until there are no lumps.

  • In a large non-stick pan, heat ghee over medium heat. When the ghee is hot, add the milk powder mixture. Cook until the mixture and ghee are well incorporated and the mixture is no longer sticking to the pan, about 3 minutes.

  • Add the sugar paste. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, until the dough pulls away from the pan and is able to hold its shape.

  • Transfer to a 7” square pan. Spread evenly, top with freeze-dried strawberries or garnish of choice, and allow to cool before cutting into squares.

Notes

1/8 cup = 2 tablespoons
This recipe works best on a non-stick pan but I have tested it on ceramic and stainless steel pans as well. It will work on the other surfaces but you may experience some sticking and some sections may brown a bit more than desired.
Store in the refrigerator.
