Sugar-Free Chocolate Burfi

Ingredients:

• 1 cup milk powder

• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1/2 cup Lakanto Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener

• 1/4 cup milk

• 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)

• A few drops of vanilla extract (optional)

• Chopped nuts for garnish (almonds, pistachios - optional)

Instructions:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk powder, cocoa powder, and Lakanto Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener until well combined and no lumps remain.

2. Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously to form a smooth, thick paste. Add the vanilla extract, if using, and mix well.

3. Cook the Mixture: Heat the ghee in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add the milk powder-cocoa mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken and leaves the sides of the pan. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes. Be patient and keep stirring to prevent burning.

4. Set the Burfi: Once the mixture has thickened and forms a cohesive mass, transfer it to a greased plate or tray. Spread it evenly with a spatula.

5. Garnish (Optional): Sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the burfi and gently press them in.

6. Cool and Cut: Let the burfi cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour until firm. Once set, cut it into desired shapes (squares, diamonds, etc.).

7. Serve and Enjoy: Your delicious and guilt-free Chocolate Burfi made with Lakanto Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener is ready to be served! Store the remaining burfi in an airtight container.

Enjoy this delightful treat knowing you've made a healthier choice without compromising on taste! Lakanto Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener truly makes it possible to indulge your sweet cravings the smarter way.
