Cornflake Coconut Barfi is a delicious sweet treat that combines the crispiness of cornflakes and richness in flavour along with the aromatic ones of coconut. The no-bake dessert preparation is simple and requires fewer ingredients, hence perfect for festivals, special occasions, or whenever you want something sweet. The crispy cornflakes add the best texture, and the coconut adds a flavour of tropical sweetness that is both filling and comforting. The cornflake coconut barfi recipe starts with ghee heating in a pan. Freshly grated coconut is added to it. The coconut is cooked until it turns lightly toasted, and fragrance emerges. Then condensed milk is added, stirring continuously so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. The mixture cooks for a few minutes until it gets a fudgy consistency. Once the coconut mixture is ready, crush cornflakes lightly and add them to the pan. Now, gently mix the cornflakes with the coconut mixture so the creamy coconut base coats every cornflake. Remove from heat. Transfer the mixture to a greased tray or plate and press it evenly to set. Allow the cornflake coconut barfi to cool completely before cutting it into squares or diamond shapes. This is then a crunchy, sweet, and slightly chewy barfi that will indeed get family and friends' approval. The following cornflake coconut barfi recipe has both coconut and cornflakes and should be used in making a sweet, simple, and satisfying dessert everyone will love!
