Chocolate burfi is a popular Indian sweet made with a combination of milk, sugar, and cocoa powder, giving it a rich and delicious chocolate flavor. It is often garnished with nuts like almonds or pistachios for added texture and flavor. This sweet treat is perfect for any special occasion or celebration, and it’s sure to be a hit with chocolate lovers everywhere.
This burfi can also be made with bournvita or drinking chocolate instead of cocoa; use ½ cup of either. Condensed milk can be substituted for milk powder.
For a double-colored burfi, first prepare a plain burfi with maida and milk powder, adding vanilla or another essence, and spread it on a greased plate. Once cool, prepare the chocolate burfi as described above and pour it over the plain burfi layer. Allow it to cool, then cut into the desired shapes.

Hi,
For microwave cooking, you need microwavable plates, bowls etc which you will get in shops. You must be having it with your Microwave Oven also. You should not put stainless steel vessels. Other than this, you need not worry about cooking in microwave.
For recipes, you can check with Cooking4all seasons blog. You will find lots of microwave recipes.
I will also try to put microwave recipes soon.

Hi Nagashree,
Thank you for visiting my blog. I have already posted some burfis. Please check "Sweets" category in my blog. I will post more burfi recipes soon.
Hi kamala
This is one of my favorite sweets from childhood.Me and my husband tried it today. I am very grateful to you for posting this recipe.
We had some problem in getting the burfi in right consistency.It did not become solid at the end. It was like alwa in liquid form.Can you please tell us what mistake we would have done?
Thank you once again….
Luv
Subha.(your big fan)
Hi Subha,
Thank you for visiting my blog. The sugar syrup should be in right consistency. For this burfi when you make the syrup, just to test it by putting few drops in a bowl of water. It will set under the water and if you try to take it out with your fingers, it will come out and you will be able to make a soft ball from that. In this stage you have to add the other ingredients. Then it will set perfect.
is it milk powder necessary for this recipe or we can omit it?
Hi Viji,
If you add milk powder, it tastes good. You can omit milk powder, but sometime it may tastes slightly bitter. Instead of milk powder, you can use milk khoya also.
What is ‘soft ball’ consistency? I am planning to make this next weekend for deepavali and need your help! Thank you!
Hi Srividhya,
When you make sugar syrup, once it starts boiling, put few drops of the syrup in a bowl of water. It will set under the water and if you try to take it out with your fingers, it will come out and you will be able to make a soft ball from that. When you put the syrup in water, if it is melted then you have to boil the syrup for some more time till you get the above consistency. If you boil for more time, then the syrup will become hard and burfi will also break and hard. Take care and get the correct consistency. If you are not sure of the consistency, then allow the syrup to boil and touch it with your fingers and if it sticks then add the maida and stir it on low flame and add coco mixture and prepare. For first time, you can go for single layer burfi. Please do let me know the outcome. Good Luck and Best wishes for a perfect burfi.
can we make this burfi in microwawe oven if yes then please tell the method
Hi
I have not tried this recipe, yet. But, I have tried many of your other sweet recipes, my hubby has become a great fan of my cooking now. Thanks to you. Well, I have a request for you. For some difficult recipes please put photos, if possible for novice like me. And, do you have a recipe for restaurant style vegetable biryani
Thank you Eshwari Ganesh for your kind feed back. I will post “Dum Vegetable Biryani” which is mostly like restaurant style.
Akka, I have a doubt.
With the measures that is mentioned for the chocolate burfi, approximately how many pieces can be made?
Lalitha
Hi Lalitha,
You will get approx 20 pieces.
hmm. Kamala aunty, i hvnt tried it yet. But i think it wil definitely taste gud. I m mainly afraid of preparin things on my own as if anythn goes wrong then… I wil sit with my mom n tell u how it is.
Tried it and its awesome . Thank you so much
Thank you for your kind feed back.
hi mam ..,
i jus tried tis today..it tastes good
but the consistency was really bad 🙁
it was not lyk urs …it was sticky..lyk halwa.. why it hapened so mam.. could u pls tell me what mistak i would hav done
Hi Sathya,
It seems, the sugar syrup is not at right consistency and the dough not cooked well. You have to make thick sugar syrup and cook till the dough leaves the sides of the vessel. If you take little dough and press with your fingers, you will feel it is very sticky and not soft like halwa. Then you can transfer it to a greased plate and allow to cool. Still if you find it very soft, you can keep it in the Refrigerator for sometime, so that it will set perfectly.
