Green & White Barfi
The Green & White Barfi is a traditional Indian sweet made from condensed milk, sugar, and nuts, often flavored with cardamom. It’s recognizable by its two colored layers: a white layer, usually made with milk and cashews or coconut, and a green layer, typically flavored with pistachios or natural coloring. Soft, rich, and sweet, this dessert is a festive treat commonly served during Indian celebrations like Diwali and weddings.

Preparation
In a large saucepan, melt the Canadian butter with the Canadian whipping cream over medium heat.
Add the milk powder and icing sugar, stirring constantly until smooth and well combined.
Divide the mixture into two bowls. Add green food coloring to one portion, leaving the other plain white.
In a greased tray or pan, spread the green mixture evenly, pressing it down gently.
Layer the white mixture on top of the green layer, smoothing with a spatula.
Allow the barfi to set at room temperature, then refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.
Cut into squares or diamond shapes, and serve!
Store barfi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
