Sweet dried fig and milk fudge studded with crunchy seeds

Fig barfi (anjeer barfi)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
This Barfi variation combines the natural sweetness and chewy texture of dried figs with the softness of a milk powder base. The fig seeds crunch, the milky base melts – this play of textures makes it exciting. An elegant, more natural sweet that requires less added sugar due to the fruit.

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Soak the figs in warm water for 1 hour to soften, then drain and chop into very small pieces (or puree coarsely).

Tip: Smaller pieces distribute better in the mixture and make slicing easier.
2 ✓

Melt the butter with the milk and sugar in a pan. Heat until the sugar dissolves.

Tip: Do not boil rapidly, so the milk doesn't catch.
3 ✓

Add the milk powder and saffron. Thicken the mixture over a low heat, stirring constantly.

Tip: Use a silicone spatula to scrape the thickening layer from the bottom of the pan.
4 ✓

When the mixture starts to come together, stir in the chopped figs and rose water. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the mixture separates from the sides of the pan and becomes glossy.

Tip: The figs add moisture, which must be evaporated again.
5 ✓

Smooth the mixture into a tin lined with baking parchment. Let it cool completely and set (approx. 2-3 hours).

Tip: Let it cool at room temperature so the top doesn't crack.
6 ✓

Turn out and cut into squares with a sharp knife.

Tip: Press a walnut half or almond into the centre for decoration while it's still soft.

Recipe FAQ

It became too sticky.
Figs have a high moisture content. Cook the mixture longer so more water evaporates.
