I am not very creative when it comes to decorating so that makes my decorating a little challenging. Not that I don’t try. And there’s nothing wrong with my recipes. It all tastes good but I can’t guarantee they will all look like they’ve “stepped” out of a gourmet bakery. Ok, maybe I didn’t mind making these Burfee Truffles as much as I thought I would.
I guess I can’t call myself a food blogger if I don’t share Diwali recipes. Ok, these little morsels of happiness wasn’t that difficult to make and the Burfee itself turned out smooth, creamy and delicious. I created a simple recipe and I reduced the sugar as usual. Making the burfee took me just a few minutes. It was the decorating that took a bit of time. To make life a little easy for me I divided my burfee mixture into 2 parts. I made one batch into Burfee Truffles and I put the other half in a tray and once set I cut them into squares. Makes life so much easier that having to decorate 50 truffles. But if you have the time please go for it, decorate them all. The burfee mixture will look a little soft when just cooked but once in the fridge it will get thicker. Also for the truffles I divided the mixture into little balls, froze them for half an hour, rolled them out again and decorated them with chocolate. They turned out really good and I was so chuffed that I managed to decorate them without any hassles.
So maybe making finicky little treats is not that bad. I just have to learn to practice patience. Something I don’t have. I will be sharing more Diwali recipes but for now you can also try these: Flaky Poli (made the South African way) Chocolate Coconut Biscuits Gulab Jamun: South African Recipe If you loved this, please share!
