Coconut Barfi (Sweet)

Growing up, I always saw my mom, aunts and grandma making a variety of Indian sweets for all of the different festivals that we celebrated. Being the designated taster during all of these dessert-making-sessions eventually led to an interest on quickly making these wonderful delicacies to match their skills and speed.

This coconut barfi recipe was actually the very first Indian dessert that I learned to make since it required fairly basic ingredients and an even easier process to follow. Now I don’t even have to drive to the nearest Indian sweet-shop whenever someone asks me to bring a dessert because I can easily whip this up in less than 15 minutes!
