Here is a quick video of this barfi:
Ingredients for cookies and cream burfi
- Milk powder
- Condensed milk
- Double stuff cream filled cookies (Oreos or I used Back to Nature available at Whole Foods in the US)
- Vanilla extract
- Ghee
- Sugar
Optionally, add in extra cream filling from a few additional cookies for more cookies and cream flavor.
Note: Burfi is traditionally made with khoya/mawa (condensed milk solids). I’ve used condensed milk as a short cut and also for the flavor.
I love doing plays on milk barfi! Tiramisu barfi is definitely another recipe you should check out.
Making the burfi
So, this Indian fusion dessert is pretty easy to make. It does take some time to dry and cool so I would allot atleast 3-4 hours. The flavor comes through best when cooled and set. If you can, leave it overnight.
For visual appeal you can:
- Take halves or pieces of the cookie and push in gently on top before the sweet cools
- Cut off thin slivers of the edges to show more of the black and white cookie filled look before serving

Hi! How long do these last in the fridge?
Hi Rachna! They will definitely last a week in the fridge. Possibly two weeks, but make sure they are in an airtight container.
Hi Shilpa,
Can you clarify the layering – do the 2 layers of parleG go under the milk barfi- those steps haven’t been explained in the recipe.
Thanks
Hi Anu – Are you referencing Tiramisu Burfi? There’s no parle-g in this post for oreo burfis. I do two layers of Parle-G in a pan and spread the barfi mixture on top. Parle-g soaks up the espresso pretty quick so that’s why there are two layers of them. If you’re on IG I have a short video of it there: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CVQO-XvgH17/?igshid=NTU1Mzc3ZGM=
How shelf stable are they? Or do they need to be refrigerated?
Hi there – I would refrigerate them and let them come to room temperature before serving to stay on the safe side.
Hi there, the recipe has sugar. Where in the method should the sugar go in? I followed the method, but didn’t add the sugar. Hoping it will now set.
Hi Anusha – It goes in at the same time as the condensed milk, ghee, etc. It just adds a little extra sweetness and shouldn’t impact the ability to set. Hope it worked out! 🙂
Hi shilpa we just try this recipe it’s turn out very good everyone love in my family we will try other recipe ❤️
Hi Jaymini – so happy to hear! Thanks so much for letting me know 🙂 Did you make it for Rakshabandhan today? If so, hope you enjoyed celebrating 💓
