Badam Burfi – Almond Fudge is an Indian sweet which is delicately flavored by almonds. It is rich and delicious, and can be made within 20 minutes. Lighten up any festival with this easy to make instant dessert. It requires only handful of ingredients and is vegan.
Most of the Indian sweets require accuracy, skills and time to make. When I have guests over, I usually make Kesari Bath or Badam Barfi. You can’t go wrong with either of these two. Badam Burfi is no-brainer. All you need to do is cook Almond flour in sugar syrup for a few minutes, and then roll it out, and cut it into desired shape.
We love pistachios and saffron flavor in the Burfi. Rosewater and cardamom can be used for flavoring. When you are out of Almond flour, just soak almonds in hot water, peel the skin, dry roast the almonds in a pan, and then powder it.
Trust me when I say this, this sweet will be cherished and enjoyed by everyone in your family. And the best part is you can adjust the sweetness of the burfi by varying the sugar amount you use. I prefer lightly sweetened burfi. Use powdered jaggery in place of sugar for healthier options.

How to make Badam Burfi ?
In a pan, bring sugar, saffron, and water to boil. No need to wait for string consistency.
Add almond powder and tbsp of Almond milk. Mix well.
Add tbsp of vegan butter. Cook in low flame for 10-15 mins stirring continuously. When the mixture starts to leave the pan, the mixture is ready to be taken out of the pan. I usually cook it a little longer for a firmer texture.
Another tip: Take a small portion of dough and roll it into a ball. If it sticking to your fingers, then it is like Halwa. Continue cooking further until it is non-sticky.
Allow the mixture to cool down for a few minutes.
Knead well. Then roll it out. Rectangle shape would be ideal with 1/4 inch thickness. Next, Add chopped nuts and roll out lightly.
Slice to square or diamond shaped burfis.
