Barfi

Barfi combines a crystalline white appearance with dense, fudge-like texture, taking its name from the Persian word for 'snow' (barf). Cut into diamond or square shapes, this milk-based sweet exists in hundreds of varieties including pistachio (pista barfi), coconut, and almond. It contains 25% less sugar than the average Indian dessert, making it a lighter option for Diwali celebrations. Gifted in decorative boxes, Barfi offers a firmer bite than #8 Kulfi's frozen consistency, with each 30-gram piece providing approximately 120 calories — a 15% reduction compared to typical ladoo servings.
