We make different varieties of sweets for Diwali. Usually, Indian sweets are made with the addition of a lot of sugar and ghee. This dry fruits burfi is a very simple and healthy recipe without the addition of sugar, jaggery, or ghee. If you are looking for a healthy sweet recipe, then you should try this one. I posted dry fruits ladoo a few years back in Jeyashri’s kitchen. A few months back, when I conducted a cooking class in Hong Kong, one student got me this dry fruits burfi | dry fruits roll for me. She got one jar full of it and before she reached the car park after the class, we finished almost half of the jar. I found some interesting taste in it but couldn’t figure out what it is. When I asked her to share the recipe, she told me it was the same dry fruit ladoo recipe of mine. But she added a few cocoa nibs and almond extract. They really elevated the taste to a different level. So I added cocoa powder and vanilla essence. It tasted so good and tasted so yum. Also, instead of making the ladoos I made this into rolls. Also, this Healthy dates and Nuts burfi post is dedicated to our friend Mr. Ram, who is celebrating his birthday. Check out our full collection of Diwali recipes Also, check out other burfi recipes

Now add the ground nuts to this. Add the cocoa powder and vanilla essence to this.
Mix well until everything is combined well. Switch off the flame.
Transfer this to a flat surface. Gather this into a whole mass and make a log. If you feel it is bit dry, add 1 tsp of ghee and combine well.
Once you form a log, place this on an aluminium foil. Roll this and keep it inside the refrigerator for 2 hours.
After 2 hours, take it out and cut them into roundels.
