Mango barfi is a fragrant and flavorful Indian sweet made with mango pulp, coconut,condensed milk and milk powder. Bursting with mango flavor, it is a tropical twist on traditional milk barfi . It is one of the easiest desserts you can make with the mangoes and some easily available ingredients.
Ingredients:
Mango Puree: I used ready made canned Kesar mango puree. You can use fresh ripe and sweet mangoes like Kesar, Alphonso or Dusheri as they are not fibrous. Just cut in cubes and blend. You might need to adjust the sweetness as ready made puree is already sweetened.
Milk Powder: I used Nido brand whole milk powder as it has a good percentage of milk fat. Don’t use low fat milk powder.
Double cream : It gives richness to the barfi. Don’t use low fat or single cream.
Nuts: I have used almonds and pistachios. Cashews can also be used. They can be skipped if you don’t like nuts.
Other Ingredients: Other than these you will need shredded fine coconut, sweetened condensed milk and cardamom powder.
To check the readiness of the barfi mix, take a small portion of cooked mix and roll it between your fngers. You should be able to roll it into a ball without sticking to your fingers.
