- 1.5 cups full-fat milk powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
How to make Instant Milk Powder Barfi (No-Cook Milk Fudge)
- Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or tray with a little ghee and set aside. This will be used to set the barfi.
- In a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai, combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Bring the sugar syrup to a gentle boil. Cook for 2-3 minutes until it reaches a sticky consistency, but not a thick string consistency yet. The syrup should just feel slightly tacky between your fingers.
- Reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Add 1/4 cup ghee to the sugar syrup and stir until it melts and combines.
- Gradually add 1.5 cups full-fat milk powder to the pan, a little at a time, stirring vigorously with a spatula or whisk to prevent lumps. Continue mixing until a smooth, thick dough-like mixture forms.
- Continue to cook on low heat for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan and comes together as a cohesive mass. Do not overcook, or the barfi will become hard.
- Remove the pan from the heat and immediately stir in 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder. Mix well to distribute the flavor.
- Quickly transfer the hot barfi mixture to the greased baking dish. Using the back of a spoon or a small greased spatula, press and spread the mixture evenly to form a smooth layer, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Allow the barfi to cool completely at room temperature for at least 1-2 hours, or until it sets firmly. You can also refrigerate for 30 minutes to speed up the setting process.
- Once set, cut the barfi into desired shapes, typically squares or diamonds, using a sharp knife. Store the Instant Milk Powder Barfi in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
