A simple and easy 7 cup sweet that has simple ingredients like besan, coconut, sugar, plant-based milk, and oil. A delicious dessert in less than 35 minutes with just 5 ingredients! Mmmmm! Tasty!!
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.

Sandhya Ramakrishnan says
7 cup cake is my kids favorite and any time I ask them what to make, the first reply would be 7 cup cake. Love the vegan version and the coconut flavor would be so enhanced with the use of coconut oil. I just tried making some last week with almond meal instead of coconut and it came out great. I might try to use the coconut oil for flavor in that recipe next time I make them.
Uma Raghupathi says
Thank you Sandhya. I used refined coconut oil, because I don't like too much coconut fragrance.
