No meal is ever complete without dessert, especially during Diwali. In fact, Diwali is all about sweets and...more sweets! If you are confused about what to bring with you to the next Diwali party, homemade sweets is the answer. Everyone loves sweets, especially those made at home with an extra dose of love. These easy mithai recipes will make your desserts the talking point of the party and make you even popular with your friends!

Choco gujiya

If done right, fusion can hardly ever go wrong. Making gujiyas is a lot of work so you can buy traditional, coconut stuffed gujiyas from the store. But the fusion twist to the gujiya will be added by you! All you have to do is make a chocolate dip and add some nuts to it. Pour some of the dip on these gujiyas and see how completely different (and delicious) they taste!

Indian crepes

Indian crepes or patishapta is a delicious Bengali dessert. This concoction of rice, maida, sooji, jaggery and coconut is easy to make. Soak the rice overnight and make a paste next day. Add maida, sugar and sooji to it. Spread batter on a pan and stuff it with jaggery and coconut dust. Cook until golden brown and serve hot!

Ice cream salad

Ice cream salad is the best kind of salad that you will ever have! As the name suggests, ice cream should ideally be a mix of two or more flavours. Get as many flavours of ice cream in a bowl you can and top it up with syrup, nuts, sprinkles and jellies! This dessert will be a hit with kids and adults alike!

Bread gulab jamun

Bread gulab jamun are easier to make than the traditional ones. Break bread slices into small cubes and grind them into fine breadcrumbs. Add warm water and knead the dough. Roll them into small balls and fry them till golden brown in hot ghee. Add a cup of sugar to 3/4th cup of water and bring to boil. Make sure there’s some thickness to the syrup. Once it’s done, add the balls into the sugar and cook for a minute. Garnish with pistachios and serve hot!
