Dates Fudge or Khajoor Barfi

 With the entire internet culinary world revolving around the Instant Pot, how could I stay behind. I have been following My Heart Beets website for all my IP related dessert ideas & this fudge or barfi (Indian Fudge) is just that. This recipe is inspired from the internet & turned out to be a little painstaking yet delicious. 







This is a 4-ingredient fix.

This is a Sugar-Free recipe. 

I am sure this can be made in pressure cooker or open pan but I have not tried it that way. I made it in the Instant Pot like the recipe called for. 

This is the dessert that I made Pre-Thanksgiving just to get the sweet juices flowing. 

What I used

  • 1 Lb pitted organic dates (Note to self : Next time, let's try the regular mezdool dates which are darker in color)
  • 2 tbsp Ghee
  • 1/4 cup each chopped almonds + chopped cashews
  • 1 tsp cardamom powder
  • 6 Qt. Instant Pot with the trivet
  • A round oven safe glass bowl which fits into  the 6Qt. IP
  • A sheet of cling film

Process
  • Roughly chop the dates --> Add them to the glass bowl --> Add 2 tbsp Ghee
  • Add about a cup of water to the IP --> Place the trivet --> Keep the glass bowl on the trivet
  • Set the IP on Pressure Cooker --> High --> 15 minutes --> Vent on sealing
  • After the 15 minutes timer is done --> Release pressure manually immediately
  • Carefully take the glass bowl out & using a fork or potato masher, mash the dates. They won't be perfectly smooth & that is OK. A little bit of bite to t he dates is always good. 
  • Next add the cardamom powder + Nuts
  • Mix properly until everything is combined well. At this point, the mixture will start to come together like dough. 
  • Roll the fudge into a long log --> Cover in cling film --> Keep the refrigerator for 2 hours
  • After 2 hours, bring the log out & cut into 1.2 inch discs.
