Almond Fudge | Badam Burfi

Almond fudge or badam burfi is a popular Indian sweet mainly prepared with powdered almond and sugar syrup. This is a quick and easy sweet which can be prepared with easily available ingredients. If you have ready made almond powder in hand, then within 15 minutes this sweet can be prepared.

Here I have not used any milk and ghee. Only for greasing purpose, a little amount of ghee is used. And also here, there is no bothering of exact right consistency of sugar syrup. Instead of soaking the almonds, blanching can reduce the preparation time. One point to remember to get perfect smooth texture of the burfi is that there should not be any cracks in the dough after kneading.

This popular Indian sweet, badam burfi anybody can use as a gift during any festive occasion especially during Diwali. Badam burfi is one of the favorite sweets of my father. This also can be served as dessert after a full main course meal.
