Chocolate Burfi is a popular dessert from the Balochistan region of Pakistan. It is typically served on special occasions such as weddings, birthdays or other celebrations. This sweet dish is a delicious blend of milk, ghee, sugar, flour, and cocoa powder that is cooked over low heat until it becomes thick and fudgy. Chopped cashews are added to create a crunchy texture and nutty flavor. The result is an irresistible Indian-style fudge that will disappear quickly when served to guests. Chocolate Burfi is perfect for those who love chocolate and traditional Pakistani desserts with a twist.
