How to Make Ricotta Cheese Burfi Fudge

In a heavy-bottomed pan, combine the ricotta cheese, sugar, and milk powder. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and burning.
Continue stirring until the mixture begins to thicken and pull away from the sides of the pan (about 15-20 minutes).
Add the ghee (clarified butter), cardamom powder, and pistachios. Stir gently to incorporate.
Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with ghee. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled and set (approximately 30 minutes), cut into small squares.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the fudge to firm up. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
