Coconut Barfi with Condensed Milk is an easy and tasty Mithai Recipe prepared with Condensed Milk and Desiccated Coconut. It is a traditional Indian sweet popularly known as Kopra Pak in Gujarat, Thengai Barfi in South India and Nariyal Ki Barfi in North India. This sweet has different names in different parts of the country but the process of preparing it at home is similar everywhere.

I frequently prepare this sweet at home since it is easy, simple and quick to make. Also this recipe mainly requires only two ingredients, Condensed Milk and Desiccated Coconut. You can prepare the barfi with Fresh Grated Coconut also. If you are preparing this Coconut Barfi with freshly grated coconut then first remove the upper brown layer with a knife. Then cut the white part into small pieces. Transfer the small pieces to grinder jar and grind it. Do not grind too much or else it will convert to a paste. I would suggest you to use market bought desiccated coconut since it makes our task easier.

During my childhood days of stay at home, my sister used to prepare this Coconut Barfi with Condensed Milk. This is where I have learnt this recipe of Coconut Barfi with Condensed Milk. Now since I am staying away from my parents and sisters, I have added this recipe to my favourite recipe list and keep preparing it on my own.

Coconut Barfi with Condensed Milk is the best variation that I like the most. Mostly I prepare the Barfi with this method only as it is less time consuming. Apart from this we can prepare this sweet recipe with other variations where we can use ingredients such as Milk, Sugar, Fresh Cream, Chopped Dry Fruits, Cardamom Powder, Rose Water, etc. These variations also include the colour of the barfi.

Notes:

1. To prepare Coconut Barfi using Condensed Milk, we have used Desiccated Coconut. You can use Fresh Coconut to prepare this Barfi. Simply remove the upper brown layer and then grate the white part of the coconut in mixer grinder. Do not grate completely or else it will form a paste. Use whichever option is available with you.
2. Here we have added the Desiccated Coconut directly into the Condensed Milk to prepare the Barfi. If you are using Fresh Coconut then first cook the grated fresh coconut to remove the moisture from it. Then add the Condensed Milk into it to prepare the Barfi. The colour of the coconut should not change while cooking.
3. To add aroma to the Barfi, we have used Cardamom Powder. If you want you can use Rose Water also. You can also add Fresh Cream to add extra flavour to the Barfi.
4. Chopped Dry Fruits are used to garnish the Coconut Barfi. You can use any of the dry fruits such as Pistachios, Cashews, Raisins, Almonds, etc.
5. Coconut Barfi can be prepared in different colour also. Use Natural Food colour of your choice to prepare colourful Barfi.
