| '''Besan barfi''' ('''barfee''') or '''Besan ki barfi''' or '''Besan Chakki''' ([[Hindi]]: बेसन की बर्फ़ी/बेसन चक्की is a common [[barfi]] sweet from the [[Indian subcontinent]]. It is made with [[gram flour|besan (gram flour)]], [[condensed milk]], and sugar.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Bladholm|first=Linda|title=The Indian Grocery Store Demystified: A Food Lover's Guide to All the Best Ingredients in the Traditional Foods of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh|publisher=St. Martin's Publishing Group|year=2016|isbn=|location=|pages=}}</ref>

| == Preparation ==
| |
| The sugar blends into a creamy texture that comes from the basic mixture, [[khoya]]. The mix is generally heated until the milk solidifies and is then placed in molds of different shapes—diamond, square or sometimes round.
| |
|
| |
| It is usually garnished with sliced or chopped almonds or pistachios. It is sometimes called "Indian cheesecake", though it contains no cheese. Variations of the dish include apricot, mango and coconut flavorings.
| |
|
| |
| The presence of Besan provides very smooth texture, thus makes Khoya an optional ingredient.
