So Eid is just around the corner and this is one of the few Eid I am actually spending at my home and with my parents with us. I plan to relax, and prepare and enjoy lot of foods because let’s accept it, occasions are incomplete without food. 

I have compiled a list of traditional and some twists on traditional desserts that will not only brighten up your Eid trolley/table but are also

  • perfect crowd pleaser
  • can be prepared in very little time
  • needs very basic ingredients found in every pantry
  • will cool down in sweltering heat  

Two bonus savory ideas in the end if you are looking for some recipes that utilizes meat of Eid ul Adha 2019.

Eid Breakfast Recipes

Halwa Puri/Paratha with Aaloo ki Tarkari

This recipe of Puri is dual purpose. I love recipes that are functional as this. Either you deep fry the prepared dough to make puris or you roll out little thicker to get Paratha variant. Both super delicious and does not require any flour/khushki which just adds cleanup post preparation.

And did I tell you its whole wheat? Like no white flour.Eid Recipes Halwa Puri

 

Kachori

This one is little trickier and requires time, patience and expertise but if you are someone living abroad, have taken off that day and only a few people or just your family to celebrate with, this can be a joint kitchen fun!

Potato Gravy recipe remains same!Eid Recipe Kachori Tarkari

Eid Breakfast Sweets

Khubani Ka Meetha

I will shamelessly boast that I make best Khubani ka Meetha. LOL Not too sweet, perfect layering with custard and fresh cream and take your time (or bribe someone) to break those tiny almond retrieved from Khoobani/Dried Apricots seeds.

Sheer Khurma

Eid is incomplete without Sheer Khurma. Do comment below if you like to serve it hot or cold.

Eid Desserts to chill

No-cook blender Qulfi

Qulfi Eid Desserts

What to say about Qulfi, unlimited flavor, one base recipe, no cooking, can be made in jiffy! My friends and family have tried mango version (add 1 cup pureed mango), Pistachio, chocolate chip and Crunch/Praline version. All hit, no regrets. Special tip – boys and men are encouraged to try and surprise their ladies in house!

Chocolate Ice creamchocolate ice cream

Well, again a little advanced, still no special equipment required like ice cream maker, can be made in bulk and make ahead.  Serve it in cone or ice cream cups with condiments like nuts, chocolate chips, sprinkles, seasonal fruits.

Eid Desserts for a Party

Chocolate Trifle 

Hosting a BBQ party? Need a big batch of impressive yet easy dessert with fresh flavors and to cool down post-party heat? Try this 3 layers chocolate trifle with homemade chocolate custard (from scratch and no mix required, and no eggs involved)

Chocolate trifle from scratch - no egg custard

Lemon Strawberry Trifle

Also this Lemon Trifle is a big hit with sweet and tangy flavors. Adapt it for seasonal fruits and you have a restaurant style dessert!Lemon Strawberry Trifle

Dessert Ideas for Giveaway

Have some guests who just wants to runaway or you are just planning some sort of giveaway. 

Gulab Jamun

The pillowy Nadia Tariq’s Gulab Jamun (my friend has named this but also my mum’s staple recipe) without khoya is just perfect for that sweet note.

Pakistani Dessert - Gulab Jamun

Maamoul

The stuffed date cookies commonly known as Maamoul in Middle East is also one of the great ways to utilize the left over dates but also makes a great giveaway.

I first had chocolate truffles in USA which were I I first had chocolate truffles in USA which were I guess from Tiffany.

Since then I was always intrigued by how they were made.

The delish chocolate bites are easier to make than other varieties like bonbons.

A luscious chocolate ganache is prepared which is then divided into bite size pieces either by piping or scooping, dipped in tempered chocolate and rolled in cocoa powder.

Do you like truffles and have you ever tried making at home?

The brand I use the most is beryl's chocolate.(sw The brand I use the most is  beryl's chocolate.(swipe to see the packaging)

It's a Malaysian brand and I find it pretty easily here from @moltaqa.alkhabbazeen as well as in Pakistan from empress market karachi.(not sure about the current status,  will.update when I go in summers)

If you ask me one chocolate you should buy go for this brands 62% one either in coins or blocks. Coins are just easier to use. The 1.5 kg bag or 2 kg block is more than enough and has good price point. 

Therir 41% milk chocolate is great as well nut not recommended for baking. 

I use it for ganache, brownies, icecream, chocolate chip cookies, mousse and mousse cakes and in general great for dipping, coating etc.

I use milk chocolate 28% white one inky for white chocolate mousse or sometimes in cookies.

I use compound chocolate for chocolate decorations or making cake pops or cakesicles.
This also comes in block and small chocolate chips both are fine.

The other brands I have tried 
arabesque (belgium) 58%
@patissierchocolate (singapore) 61% ,41%

@callebautchocolate ( so popular, slightly overrated, difficult to get, available for bull orders)

dawn chocolate - good quality but i find it very sweet

All these brands are available in the above shops.
