Recipe Time & More
Prep2 hours 15 minutes
Total2 hours 15 minutes
Ingredients
Base Mixture
- 200 ml Milk condensed
- 1 1/2 cup Desiccated Coconut
Rose Layer
- 1 1/2 tsp Rose Syrup or rose essence
- 1 Rose fresh petals, optional
Garnish & Assembly
- 1 Tbsp Pistachios finely chopped
- 1 sheet Parchment Paper
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the condensed milk and desiccated coconut. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Divide the coconut mixture in half. Place one half in a separate bowl.
- To the second bowl, add the rose syrup (or essence) and the fresh rose petals, if using. Mix gently to combine.
- Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface. Spread the plain coconut mixture onto the parchment paper, forming a thin, even layer.
- Spread the rose-flavored coconut mixture over the plain layer, creating a second, even layer.
- Sprinkle the chopped pistachios down the center of the layered coconut mixture.
- Carefully lift one side of the parchment paper and fold it over the coconut mixture, starting from the long edge. Tightly roll the parchment paper to create a log. This helps the layers adhere to each other.
- Refrigerate the rolled Coconut Rose Delight for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up. Chilling helps the flavors meld and the dessert to hold its shape when sliced.
- Once chilled, slice the roll into rounds and serve. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Make sure the coconut and milkmaid (condensed milk) mixture has a dough-like consistency.
- Adjust sweetness by adding caster sugar to your liking.
- For enhanced flavor, lightly toast the coconut powder before mixing.
- Refrigerate the mixture for a firmer texture before slicing and garnishing.
- For a vegan version, use coconut condensed milk and plant-based rose essence.
Expert Tips
- If you're short on time, you can use desiccated coconut instead of fresh grated coconut. However, fresh coconut will give a more authentic flavor and texture.
- Don't over-toast the coconut flakes, as they can burn easily. Toast them over medium heat until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Get creative with the garnish! Chopped nuts, dried fruit, or a sprinkle of cardamom powder would also be delicious additions.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover coconut burfi in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
