    Badam Burfi or instant Pot Almond Katli is an easy, creamy, and decadent dessert that you can prepare in less than 15 minutes!

    As we approach the last and festive part of the year, it is time to share an exciting recipe for all the readers with a sweet tooth! This is probably the second dessert that I have prepared with the Instant pot. I hope you are as excited as I was, to prepare Instant Pot Almond Katli or a.k.a ‘badam burfi’.

    It’s perfect for celebrating the upcoming festive time of the year in your own vegan way. The traditional method of preparing this fudge-like sweet is with whole milk powder, almonds, ghee, sugar, and cardamom. I am sharing the vegan version of the traditional version.

    As the Indian festival, ‘Diwali” is approaching fast, I am hoping this recipe reaches you in time to plan for the big day. I am sure you and your family will love this new dessert after a sumptuous holiday meal. 

    It has been a couple of years since I shared the recipe for almond squares made with whole almonds. That was the stovetop version. Apart from using the Instant Pot, there is another subtle change in today’s recipe.

    I used almond flour instead of almonds. This eliminates the need for soaking the almonds or peeling and cuts the cooking time down to minutes! Can you imagine preparing a dessert in less than 15 minutes?! 

    You could use the same procedure with cashews instead of almonds. Those are two Instant Pot recipes for desserts that you can keep handy for big occasions. If you are not using an instant pot, make sure you cook the syrup to a ‘one string consistency’  to mimic the consistency you get in an Instant Pot. 

    Tips to make almond katli

    Here are a few tips to prepare the picture-perfect Badam Burfi...

    • Take the right measurement of ingredients. Use the same cup size for the entire procedure
    • Stir sugar syrup well before closing the lid.
    • Use fine almond flour and stir well to avoid lumps
    • Use Cardamom powder for extra flavor
    • Grease the aluminum foil before rolling the burfi.

    Special holidays, weddings, and festivals like Diwali/Deepavali in India are unthinkable without sweets, and burfi or barfi features prominently. 

    Also, try my Instant Pot Sabudana kheer for Diwali.

      This yummy is not only incredibly tasty, but also healthy! This is a great alternative to purchased sweets with plenty of dyes and various chemical additives. It’s great that you are telling how it is possible to cook badam burfi at home. I also like almonds in any form. I will definitely try to make this dessert according to your recipe. I hope I will succeed! Thank you very much.5 stars

      I am definitely going to make this...loved the recipe a lot. Almond barfi look absolutely amazing & perfect texture. Do we have to use normal clarified butter instead of vegan butter?
