Ricotta Cheese Coconut Barfi (stove top)

Whatever you mix you can taste to make sure it how you like it.


Ricotta Cheese ( I used part skim ricotta) I use the bigger dabba of it.....you can use however much you want
Cardamom crushed or powder ( just a little bit)
Shredded coconut (also how coconutty you want it to be)
sugar (according to taste)

mix the ricotta, cardamom and sugar together, taste it, it should be a little bit sweeter than you like. this is because after you add the coconut the sweetness will become less.

Toast the coconut in a non stick pan until slightly brown, put aside
In the same pan put ricotta and sugar mixture and on mediumish heat cook the mixture until it becomes like a little bit thicker than cake batter consistency...you have to keep stirring pretty much the whole time....this takes a while :) maybe 45 min or so
once the mixture reaches a thick consistency add the coconut and mix well....cook for maybe 1 min or so

transfer to a butter coated sheet and pat it down into one layer, let it cool, you can cover and put in refrigerator also. once cool you can cut into pieces and its ready!!!!!
