Mango coconut burfi recipe - The perfect tropical flavor combination that everyone will love.
dear husband hates coconut in any dish whether it's savory or sweet. But he actually likes this burfi.
First he said it looks appetizing and has very vibrant color. I was like yea I know. Then he asks can I try now? I said 'NO' it has to cool down and set. After few hours, he asks again and I said - why are you so excited you don't like coconut? He said - the color attracts me to eat it. After having a bite, he enjoys burfi.
He was about to eat the second piece, I was like wait let me take the photos first. While taking photos he was on top of my head and keeps saying please hurry... So here I am with no so good photos.
I regret that I made half batch and only 6 pieces. Before I thought it will be only for me why make full batch. I should make this again for him maybe next week.
This mango burfi has perfect balanced flavor of mangoes and coconut. This is not the kind of burfi that sets hard like mawa chocolate burfi. It has fresh coconut as well as moisture from mango puree. So It will hold the burfi shape but still soft and moist, juicy just like kopra pak or coconut barfi.
I have used pistachios on top as a garnishing. You can use almonds, cashews. Alternately you can mix the nuts into the burfi mixture along with adding cardamom powder.
When it comes to the mangoes, I am saying again and again that use the best quality, less fibrous mangoes like Alphonso or Kesar to get the best out of it. The flavors and taste will be much much better that random mango type. I will keep repeating myself until you email me and say ‘Yea Kanan, I got it now.’

Hi Kanan, can we use condensed milk instead of milk and sugar?
yes you can use condensed milk.
Hi, can we use desiccated coconut in this recipe?

I have never tried.
Hey!! How long does a mango coconut burfi last without fridge?? I want to send this barfi to USA.
2-3 days if the temperature is moderately cool.
If it is hot like Indian summer than I doubt that it stays good for more than a day.
Tried the recipe! Every one said "looks yumm".. waiting for it to set. Have specially made for my father in law. He loves coconut.
Now let's see 🙂
Hope he likes it.
