Cuisine Indian
Servings 20 burfi

Ingredients
  

  • 25 gms Raw pistachio kernels
  • 25 gms Raw cashew nuts
  • 25 gms Raw almonds sliced
  • 6-8 Green cardamom pods
  • 250 gms Dark chocolate bar (I used 72% dark cocoa )
  • 7 oc Fat free condensed milk
  • tsp Ghost pepper powder
  • 1 pinch Sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Line a small baking pan with a parchment paper sling. I used a 10×7 baking pan. But the recipe will work in an 8×8 square baking pan, too. The burfis will be slightly thicker if you use an 8x8 pan.
  • Roughly break the pistachios and cashew nuts in batches, using a mortar and pestle, making sure to not powder them. Transfer to a bowl along with the sliced almonds.
  • Bash the cardamoms using a mortar and pestle, remove the husks, and then powder the seeds.
  • Break the chocolate into approx. 1" pieces and place them in a microwave safe bowl. Add the condensed milk to the chocolate.
  • Microwave the chocolate and condensed milk mix, in 20 seconds increments, stirring the chocolate with a spatula in between each increment, until the chocolate has melted.
  • Add the cashews, pistachios, almonds, cardamom powder and the ghost pepper powder to the chocolate mixture and mix well.
  • Pour the mixture into the lined baking pan.
  • Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
  • Let it cool slightly on the counter and then refrigerate for about an hour until the mix is hardened.
  • Lift the hardened mix out of the pan and cut into squares or triangles. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week.
