ORANGE BARFI CUSTARD SHOTS

Sweet/desserts are important in any cuisine. In India apart from the traditional sweets, international desserts are equally popular. Custard pudding is popular dessert which is originated in the Europe and introduced to Japan in the early Meiji period by the British. In Japan it is known as ‘Purin’ (Japanese Custard Pudding) which comes from the word ‘Pudding’.
In present day custard pudding is popular world wide, with variations nof some ingredients and process, as per own choice.
Today, I have prepared custard shots with Indian sweet Orange Barfi for Holi festival which is served chilled. These chilled shots are not only convenient to serve but delicious and refreshing.
