About This Recipe
Burfi is a popular Indian sweet that is prepared with khoya/mawa, sugar, coconut, and dry fruits. Here, we are giving this traditional sweet twist by adding fresh mango puree.
You will find Burfi at every Indian Mithai store and a lot of variations of the same too, but I assure you this homemade Mango Burfi will beat all those sweets.
Cardamom Powder is also added in this Burfi, which gives it a nice flavor. Adding desiccated coconut is optional, but I will recommend not missing the coconut and it is actually my favorite part of this Burfi along with mangoes, as mangoes and coconut is a bomb combination and really complements each other.
Also, if the mangoes are sweet enough, you can adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste and preference.
Ingredients
Mango Puree – You can use any mangoes to make the puree for your Burfi. See that they are properly riped and sweet. You can even use canned puree.
Dry Fruits – I have used Almonds and Cashews, dry roasted them, powdered, and then used in the recipe. You can even add some crushed Pistachios for a nice bite in the Burfi.
Other Ingredients – Other than these, you will need sugar, milk powder, ghee, desiccated coconut, and cardamom powder. You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your tastes and preference.

Frequently Asked Questions
In a microwave-safe baking pan, add mango puree, desiccated coconut, sugar, milk powder, and cardamom powder. Mix everything and place the pan in a microwave for about 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, remove, mix it again and place it in the microwave again for another 5 minutes.
Keep microwaving the burfi in 2 minutes interval until the mixture is thickened.
Remove the pan from microwave and flatten the burfi. Top it with the dry fruits and let the Burfi set. When it is almost set, cut into squares and serve.
You can use any Mangoes of your choice, but I prefer Alphonso Mangoes as they are juicy and sweet. You can even use the canned puree to make this burfi.
You can mix condensed milk in the Mango puree and then cook it in the pan. Reduce the amount of milk powder by half in this and also reduce the amount of sugar in the same as condensed milk is already sweet.
Storage Suggestions
You can store Mango Burfi in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It stays good for 3 to 4 days.
