Where it comes from
Unadapted borrowing from Spanish dulce de leche (literally “sweet [made] of milk”). Compare dolcelatte.
noun
- A South American sweet spread made from sugar and boiled milk. Unlike dulce de leche, in which milk is cooked down with sugar until it thickens into gold, the milk stays white here — burfi comes from the Persian word for snow — for a purer flavor.
