Mango Coconut Burfi or Mango Fudge is an easy and delicious dessert with fresh mango puree and coconut in 20 minutes.
Quick and Easy Mango Dessert:
Mango Coconut Burfi is an easy and quick dessert to make in less than 30 minutes. As we all know Mango is a king of fruits and taste. It’s excellent flavor, taste and aroma makes a delicious dessert. Mango and Coconut together makes a wonderful combination, milk helps to give a soft texture to the burfi. It is an excellent dessert for parties and potlucks. If you are not a big fan of mango taste and flavor, you can simply make a Coconut Ladoo with coconut and milk and without mango.
Smart Cooking Tips:
1. Avoid adding extra ghee in this recipe, because coconut by itself oozes out oil when cooking.
2. Make sure to cook the coconut and mango mixture completely until it becomes thick, it might take 10 – 15 minutes. If you do not cook completely until it gets thick consistency then shaping the burfi becomes difficult.
3. Milk and coconut tend to burn quickly, so keep stirring in between.
4. If you are using frozen shredded coconut make sure to defrost it completely before making burfi.
5. Make sure to use sweet ripe mango for this recipe, if the mango tastes sour adjust adding sugar according to your taste.
6. Choose less fibrous mango like Alphonso variety for this recipe.
7. You can also replace the whole milk with 2% reduced fat milk, but whole milk gives rich taste to the burfi.
8. You can also use store-bought mango puree in this recipe. I used one fresh Alphonso mango in this recipe. One medium size Alphonso mango yields 0.50 cup to 0.75 of puree. If you are using store-bought mango puree use 0.50 cup of puree.
