Written by jheelum basu | October 16, 2025
After the long stretch of Navratri, Durga Puja, and Laxmi Puja celebrations, the festive season in India enters the last lap to end the festive spree with Diwali and Bhai Dooj. While Diwali is all about lights, love, and laughter,
Bhai Dooj, which takes place after Diwali, celebrates the sacred bond between siblings, where typically the sister prays for her brother’s long life and prosperity.
The spirit of an auspicious occasion like Bhai Dooj always remains incomplete without festive sweets and desserts.
In our deeply rooted Indian culture, sweets not only represent culinary delight but also showcase emotions, love, and care for each other. During this festival, sharing sweets symbolizes the celebration of love, togetherness, and prosperity.
But what about the downsides of excess intake of unhealthy ingredients like flour and sugar found in desserts and sweets? With health consciousness at its peak these days, healthy alternatives to traditional recipes are carving out their own niche in the Indian food landscape like never before. And no-maida (refined flour ) chocolate desserts indeed represent some of the best Cadbury dessert ideas for Bhai Dooj.
Despite having no maida in them, the cabbury-infused desserts invariably offer rich, fudgy, and intense chocolate flavor with a luscious, creamy texture. Be it a cake, a brownie, a cookie, or a creamy mousse, the richness of chocolate and butter finds prominence in these no-maida recipes. Here, we have crafted the 7 best no-maida Cadbury dessert ideas for Bhai Dooj.
