How to make Chocolate Badam Burfi:
To a wide non stick pan add sugar and water, stir and let the sugar dissolve. Cook till you see some bubbles ( as shown in the picture)
Once you see the bubbles immediately reduce the heat to low and add the milk, almond flour and one teaspoon of ghee. scrape the sides and slowly mix until there are no lumps.
Now increase the heat to medium and keep stirring till the mixture starts coming together. Add two teaspoons of ghee and keep stirring, when you fold the dough it will hold its shape.
To check if it the right consistency, take a small piece of the dough and see if you can make a slightly soft but non sticky ball. If not cook little more.
If you over cooked and the mixture is looking dry then sprinkle some water and mix it well.
Transfer ⅔rd of the mixture to a parchment lined pan and spread it evenly. To the rest of the mixture add coco powder and chocolate chips, the heat from the pan will instantly melt the chocolate chips.
Mix it well and immediately transfer the chocolate mixture on the burfi layer. You can use some ghee to make it easier to spread.
Apply edible silver leaves on the top (optional). Let cool a bit, and put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cutting into desired shape.
