Now, who doesn’t like dessert? Being Whole-Food Plant Based doesn’t you need to deprive yourself of delightful desserts. I love the challenge and admire others who have taken this challenge and added variety to this life-style. Now, in Indian kitchens this a different kind of challenge. The question that comes very quickly, what do you mean you will not use ghee or sugar in dessert or in Hindi it is called ‘Mithai’.
Nariyal Barfi or Coconut Squares are one of the simplest and easiest barfi to prepare at home for any festivities or gatherings with family and friends. Well we can also name this barfi ‘coconut fudge’. You will love coconut barfi if you love coconut or maybe this is your moment to like Coconut. Its healthy with no refined sugars or any dairy products. It doesn’t take much time to prepare.
