Would you like to save this?
Looking for a quick fix dessert in under an hour? I have just the recipe for that today! I could not time this recipe any better myself, because it is the end of spring break for the kids and I was out of most of the snacks.
It will not be long before they come asking for something to munch on. A sweet surprise such as a 7 Cup Burfi saves my day.
This 7 cup sweet is literally a dump and stir dessert recipe. And this recipe is a vegan, and gluten-free dessert.
7 Cup Burfi is a simple dessert recipe for any occasion. It is typically made with dairy ingredients and suits most occasions. I have also posted it in the past. Now I am re-posting that recipe, although in a vegan way.
I am still surprised at how little we have to depend on dairy foods when we decide not to. Nevertheless, as the name suggests, there are 7 measures of ingredients in this recipe. Better yet, there are fewer than 7 ingredients. The usual recipe calls for 3 cups of sugar, but I prefer it a little milder than that. So I used only 2 ½ cups of sugar.
Expert tips
There is no overnight preparation or any special ingredient that is hard to find.
Note that I have used refined coconut oil for my recipe. It is not to say that the regular coconut oil does not suit this recipe.
I just happened to have the refined version in my pantry this time. Using regular coconut oil works just fine, perhaps, you get even more of the tropical coconut flavor with it.

Hi, looks heavenly. Can I use jaggery instead of sugar or honey maybe. My son can't take sugar in any form. Please let me know.
Uma Raghupathi
Hi Sowmya. I never tried with a jaggery. I don't know about its results. You can make ladoo with besan flour using jaggery. Thank you 🙂

Asha
Can I use unrefined coconut oil?
Uma Raghupathi
Hi Asha
You can use unrefined coconut oil. But It gives a strong coconut flavor to the burfi. You can use corn oil or vegetable oil too.
chei
