Coconut Burfi is one of my favorite Indian desserts. When I was younger, my cousin, Ajay, would drizzle chocolate syrup all over it, and then microwave the burfi for 20 seconds. He named his creation, Almond Joy chocolate without the almonds. Brilliant right? At that age, I thought anything Ajay did was brilliant. 🙂 Recently, Aarti Sequeira of Food Network’s Aarti Party made a Coconut Toffee on her show. She named this dish Coconut Toffee, but it really is Coconut Burfi. I loved how she added red food color to this decadent dessert which transforms the burfi into a gorgeous pink color. Remember, people eat with their eyes! Based on the reviews for Aarti’s Coconut Toffee, many complained the burfi was too sweet. Note, this dessert is supposed to be sweet, however I wasn’t looking for a toothache either so I reduced the sugar from 1 1/2 cups to 1 cup. This is a quick dessert that literally takes about 20 minutes to put together. Enjoy!
