No Sugar Mango Burfi / Mango fudge is an Indian dessert made using only three ingredients – milk , mango and cardamom powder. Milk and mango pulp are cooked together till all the moisture is evaporated and the mixture thickens. Mango gives natural sweetness to the recipe and hence it can be enjoyed guilt free. It is gluten free and can be prepared for any festival.
Mango is the king of fruit and can be enjoyed by itself or can be used to make different delicacies. Different dishes like shake, smoothies, icecream, puddings, cheesecake, cakes, salad, burfi can be made and enjoyed.
This recipe of no sugar mango burfi is cooked by my mother in law during her recent visit in summer to Sydney. She is a Krishna bhakt and does “seva” of “Thakorji/ Shrinathji”. She will make different sweets and savory dishes to offer to Thakorji (Shreenathji). Since mangoes were in the season she prepared this yummy delicacy to offer to Thakorji.
We all love mangoes, I get big box of mangoes. We usually chop and eat the fruit or make aamras or to beat the summer heat make a quick shake or smoothie or lassi .
My son (Aarav) loves milk peda prepared by my mother in law (Geeta Shah). She will boil the full fat milk and cook till it it is reduced and all the moisture is evaporated. Then she will add sugar powder and shape the mixture to peda. So she modified the same recipe and used mango pulp and skipped sugar to make mango burfi. Instead of shaping the mixture into flatten ball (peda) she spread the mixture on the greased tray, let it set and then cut into pieces to make no sugar mango burfi.
She offered this burfi to Thakorji and we all at home enjoyed the offered prasad guilt free!!
Always use nice sweet mango like alphonso to make the burfi. Here in Sydney we had used R2E2 mango. You can use canned mango pulp too if fresh mango is not available.
Use a heavy bottom pan or non stick utensil to make the burfi. Continuously stir the milk to prevent it sticking from bottom of the pan.
You can add sugar if you want the burfi to be more sweet.
We had spread the mixture in the tray and cut into pieces. However you can shape it into ball or flatten ball to make laddoo or peda.
So friends I hope you enjoy the mango season to the fullest and make this burfi for your family and friends.
Please do share your feedback with me.

Awesome recipe,siger free,easy nd tasty recipe
thank you so much
very nice recipe I would love to try, thank you for sharing. I have allergy to lactose, do you know what milk i could substitute it with??
Hi
Thank you so much for going through the recipe. I have thickened the milk and have used in the recipe. But with substitutes to milk like almond milk / coconut milk/ rice milk or soy milk, it is difficult to thicken them. You can hence cook mango puree with powdered almonds or desiccated coconut and sugar in the pan till all the mixture comes together. Then set the mixture into a greased tray and cut into pieces. For 1 cup or mango puree use 1 cup of powdered almonds (almond meal ) or desiccated coconut, around 1/4 cup of sugar or as per sweetness. 1/4 tsp cardamom powder and some coconut oil or any flavorless oil for greasing.
Happy cooking!!
Very yummy đ
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing. Do you use ghee for only greasing the tray because I donât see it being used in any other step? Thank you.
