- Once the Barfi cools down completely, it is ready for serving. Serve it as a dessert after main course meal. You can store the Coconut Barfi for days in refrigerator.
Notes
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Coconut Barfi can be prepared in different colour also. Use Natural Food colour of your choice to prepare colourful Barfi.
- Consume the Coconut Barfi for days by storing it in air tight container in refrigerator.
