Ricotta Cheese And Pistachio Squares / Pistachio Burfi
- 30 ounces, weight Ricotta Cheese
- 2 teaspoons Butter
- 1/2 cups Sugar
- 2 cups Powdered Milk
- 1/2 cups Unsalted Pistachios Finely Chopped
- 1/4 teaspoons Cardamom Powder
- Pistachio Halves, Optional For Garnish
- Put the ricotta cheese into a bowl. Using a hand mixer, mix the ricotta cheese into a thick paste. Take a non-stick pan and add the cheese to it and cook it over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. By then it will start to loosen up. Add a teaspoon of butter and stir continuously. Add the sugar, milk powder and chopped pistachios and keep stirring till it forms a thick dough or when it starts to separate from the sides of the pan. It takes 20-25 minutes of stirring. Add the cardamom powder and stir for another 1 minute and turn off the stove.
- Apply a little butter on the glass container/bakeware and transfer the burfi to the container. Apply a little butter to your hands or a spatula and flatten the top, flattening the burfi to about an inch thick. Garnish it with halved pistachios.
- Cover it and refrigerate for 1 hour. Cut into desired shapes. Keep it refrigerated till ready to serve.
