Seeds are often cheaper and provide similar crunch.

Combine full cream powdered milk with 1 tin of Nestle cream in a bowl.

Mix the powdered milk and cream together using hands until nicely incorporated and crumbly.

Transfer the mixture to a food processor and process until smooth, ensuring no chunky pieces remain.

Set the crumbled mixture aside.

In a separate pot, add water, sugar, and spices (ginger and lychee) and stir on low to medium heat until it thickens but does not thread.

Once the sugar mixture is thick and flowy, carefully add it to the crumbled powdered mixture a little at a time, mixing carefully to avoid burns.

Continue mixing until everything is combined; the mixture will start to harden as the sugar cools.

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking tray and press down using hands until smooth and firm.

Sprinkle desired amount of sprinkles on top.

Use a knife to cut the barfi into pieces while still in the tray, making it easier to remove once cooled.

Let the barfi rest until set.
