These heavenly squares are a perfect blend of chocolatey goodness and milky indulgence with the subtle notes of saffron. The fusion of saffron and chocolate is a flavor profile I’ve explored before, as in mini brownie saffron cheesecake bites. I took my favorite eggless brownie recipe and made it better, or so I think. My kids really enjoy fusion flavors where I tie togther the taste desserts that are familiar to them with flavors of indian mithai. I love creating such fusion dessert recipes from time to time to let them expericne indian flavors while still keeping the appeal of the overall idea of desserts they already know. They call it frosted brownies 🙂 There are two components in this recipe. It is a fun twist on regular burfi!
Brownie Layer
You need just a few ingredients for the eggless brownie batter. It is scented with green cardamom. Brownies are usually made with eggs which impart them a unique fudgy texture while also taking care of the structure while they bake. However, by making a few swaps, with ingredients such as yogurt, the eggless brownie later tastes rich and fudgy. This one bowl brownie recipe is crazy easy to whip up . You are going to need simple ingredients like butter, sugar, yogurt, all purpose flour, cocoa power and baking powder.
What is Milk Burfi
Once the brownie layer is cooled down, you can start working on the burfi layer which comes together in a nonstick pan on stove top. Milk Burfi is a super popular, easy and delicious mithai which can be prepared with 4 to 5 ingredients like milk, milk powder or mawa, sugar and ghee. There are many ways to flavor burfi using different nuts and grains, however milk burfi is one of the most basic and popula in India. Here I have used saffron for the beautiful color and aroma it imparts to the milky ingredients. Traditionally burfi is made with khoya or mawa which are basically milk solids that have been separated after cooking the milk long enough so that its moisture evaporates.
Ingredients
Yogurt - I use whole milk yogurt. Chocolate Chips - I use semi sweet chocolate chips. Milk Powder - Use a high fat content milk powder. I like Nido brand.
