Notes
Half and Half is a mix of Full fat Milk and Heavy whipping cream in equal portion. After the first 15 minutes, there is no change to the batter.After 30 minutes the mixture starts bubbling. After 45 minutes the mix starts browning. After 1 hour 15 minutes, I recommend checking oven at 10 minute intervals. It took me about 1 hour 25 minutes. I put nuts in the batter which makes it harder to cut and get clean square pieces.To get clean pieces- I took boiling hot water in a cup. Dip a sharp knife in the water,wipe with a paper towel and cut the barfi with warm knife. Keep dipping,wiping and cutting for perfect square pieces. Ovens vary,so please use your judgement for timing. It can take anywhere from 1 hour 15 minutes to an hour 45 minutes to brown.You can brown a little less or more depending on personal preference of color.
