Ricotta Cheese Burphee
Ingredients:

• 1 lb whole milk ricotta cheese
• 1/4 lb unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 cups milk powder
• 2 tbs pista crushed coarsely

Method: In a thick bottom pan, melt butter on medium heat. Add cheese and cook till the butter bubbles through cheese, while constantly stirring, for about 10 minutes. Add sugar and continue to cook, till all the sugar melts for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the milk powder and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, till the mixture looks thick and drier. Pour the mixture on to a lightly greased 9"x11" cookie sheet or a large plate. Spread and flatten the mixture, making the surface as even as possible. It should be about 1/2" to 1" thick. To decorate, sprinkle the crushed pista on top. Cut into squares or any shape with a knife when cool.
Cooking Tips: Pour on to a greased aluminum foil or wax paper lined cookie sheet for easy clean up. Can use cookie cutter to make different shapes. Decorate with sliced almonds or other nuts of your choice. Use food coloring to make different color burphees. It is very important to stir the mixture constantly while making the burphee. It is equally important to use a thick bottomed dish or else the contents will start sticking to the bottom and will burn quickly. Can use a good non stick pan for less hassles.
Serving Tips: Eat when cool. Serve as dessert .
