Chocolate Burfi or Milk Halwa recipe using ricotta cheese

We used to make burfi scratch from milk in past. It would require stirring for hours on low flame to make fresh burfi or milk halwa. Using Ricotta cheese burfi or halwa making becomes very simple. You simply combine three basic ingredients in a heavy bottom pan and stir it until it starts leaving the pan. That's about it and burfi is ready.  Sweets or Desserts Recipe

Burfi is very versatile bite size dessert.You can add any flavor essence and color to suit your taste or occasion. I have added pink color and rose essence in past for a girl baby shower. You can add pistachio essence and green color for a Christmas time gift giving. Here I have used coco powder to make two layer chocolate burfi. Bottom half is white while top one is chocolate burfi layer. Here is list of ingredients and step by step instructions to make burfi using ricotta cheese.
