BARFI
Barfi (or burfi) is a fudge-like Indian candy that's typically served at celebrations, from birthdays to Diwali. Our homage to the classic confection starts with ricotta cheese and butter instead of the traditional condensed milk and ghee, then adds cardamom for flavor and pistachios for crunch.

Steps:
- Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
- Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ricotta and stir with a rubber spatula until butter and ricotta are incorporated. Add milk powder and sugar; mix well to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring often, until mixture is very thick and begins to form a dough that moves together in a single mass when stirred, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in cardamom and pistachios. Transfer mixture to prepared dish and pat into an even 3/4-inch thickness (you will only use about 60 percent of dish's surface area). Let cool to room temperature. Lift barfi from pan using parchment; cut into diamonds. Garnish with gold leaf, if desired, and more pistachios. Barfi can be stored, covered, in refrigerator up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Cook the Ricotta cheese and butter on low to medium heat.
- (Sometimes the Ricotta splatters; keep it half covered at low to medium heat, stirring often to avoid burning.) After about ½ hour, stir in the sugar and dry milk.
- Cook, while stirring, until the Ricotta is of dry consistency, like paste that can be easily spread (10 to 15 minutes).
- Mix in the almonds and crushed cardamom.
- Spread in a non-stick 12x18" cookie sheet, about 1/3 inches thick.
- Pat gently with wax paper or spatula to make it even.
- Cover with the varak sheets for decorative look.
- Cut into squares or diamond shape when cool.
- Store in the refrigerator.
- Variation: Cook the Ricotta in the microwave oven, starting with 5 minutes at high.
- You can also cook it in the conventional oven.
- May add about ½ cup cocoa powder along with sugar to give chocolate taste and look.
- Or add about 1 cup slightly roasted and ground sesame seeds, along with other nuts, towards the end of cooking.
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, blend the ricotta cheese until it is completely smooth before adding it to the other ingredients.
- If you don't have a blender, you can mash the ricotta cheese with a fork until it is smooth.
- Be careful not to overcook the mixture, as this can cause it to become dry and crumbly.
- If you want a fudgier texture, add more chocolate chips.
- For a more intense flavor, use a high-quality cocoa powder.
- To make the burfi even more special, garnish it with chopped nuts, dried fruit, or edible glitter.
Conclusion:
Ricotta cheese burfi is a delicious and easy-to-make fudge that is perfect for any occasion. With its smooth and creamy texture, rich chocolate flavor, and festive appearance, this fudge is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
