How to Celebrate Guru Nanak Jayanti with Cadbury Sweet Innovations for Gurpurab
Written by jheelum basu | October 31, 2025
The true essence of Guru Nanak Jayanti lies in those sattvik, devotional offerings made to the spiritual leader on his birth anniversary. The traditional Guru Nanak Jayanti offerings don’t include chocolate or any other commercially processed ingredients. However, the chocolate-infused sweets can be offered as additional items instead of replacing the traditional ceremonial ones.
Despite its foreign origin, chocolate has carved its own niche in the Indian culinary landscape over the past few decades. It has effortlessly blended with the opulence of Indian festive desserts with its diverse flavors and textures. And now, with Cadbury, isn’t it exciting to give the festive recipes a modern twist? This article is all about
how to celebrate Guru Nanak Jayanti with Cadbury.
Chocolate Barfi
Chocolate Barfi is a classic Indian fusion dessert that combines the milky goodness with the comfort of chocolate. Over the past few years, the chocolatey makeover of the traditional recipe of barfi has become everyone’s favorite. Every bite of a chocolate barfi ensures a burst of rich and creamy flavor with a decadent, milky, chocolaty texture.
While there are several methods to make this item with different kinds of ingredients, usually, chocolate barfi is made from all-purpose flour, milk, ghee, milk powder, assorted nuts, mawa, and of course, Cadbury Dairy Milk, which elevates the taste like nothing else. For that grainy texture, add cold milk to hot ghee before blending in the milk powder. For a smoother version, it is better to combine cold milk, cold ghee, and milk powder and heat them together to form the mawa dough.
Chocolate Kheer
In India, Kheer is considered an integral part of several auspicious ceremonies. The quintessential rich and creamy Indian dessert is typically made from rice, thickened milk, and spices. Now, with Cadbury Dairy Milk, this Guru Nanak Jayanti, why not give it a chocolatey spin?
What chocolate kheer adds to the festive spirit is that luscious chocolatey comfort with the fragrant basmati rice.
Across regions, rice is often replaced by ingredients such as vermicelli and semolina. However, across all varieties, the primary ingredients are combined with boiled milk and blended with either sugar or jaggery and cooked well to form the creamy and enriching kheer dessert. The thickened milk is often flavored with spices and garnished with crushed dry fruits like pistachios and almonds, which further elevate its texture.

Chocolate Halwa
Different kinds of traditional halwa recipes often dominate the dessert platter of Gurpurab celebrations. However, to experience the decadence of chocolate in Indian desserts, this is the ultimate fusion item to try this year. Along with milk, sugar, and ghee, this dish includes semolina for traditional flavors. Later, chocolate adds a modern twist to it. Moreover, Cadbury Dairy Milk’s sustainably sourced cocoa and the gooey, creamy consistency make it even exquisite in taste and texture. For garnishing, assorted dry fruits can be used as they add a delightful crunch to every single bite.
4. Gajar Ka Halwa Truffles
This chocolate-infused dessert brings the best of both worlds. Here, the sweet traditional Gajar Halwa meets the smooth, chocolate-covered truffles. While warm and gooey Gajar Halwa at the center brings unmatched comfort, the truffles, on the other hand, infuse the chocolaty delight in this fusion dessert.
This traditional dessert with a fusion spin can be prepared in just under 30 minutes. Once the halwa is ready, allow it to cool down before shaping it into small balls.
The next step is melting some premium-quality Cadbury chocolate and giving those halwa balls a generous chocolate bath. Once done, allow them to chill in the refrigerator before serving.
5. Chocolate Laddoo
While chocolate laddoos are not part of a traditional Sikh sweet for Gurpurab, this modern, delightful, chocolatey addition to your dessert platter can truly uplift the festive spirit like nothing else.
Made with Marie biscuits, sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, ghee, and Cadbury chocolate, everyone loves these bite-sized delicacies as festive celebrations are never complete without laddoos. To make these laddoos, grind the biscuits in a food processor and simply mix all the ingredients in a bowl to form the dough. Once mixed well, take small portions of the dough and shape them into bite-sized balls. Allow them to settle for some time. To add more to its taste, toppings like desiccated coconut or rainbow sprinkles can be used.
While having sweets is always fun, why not give it a chocolatey twist? Enjoy this Gurpurab with these chocolate-infused delicacies and spread the joy like never before.
