1. Miniature Versions for Easy Bites
Mini bites make it easier to savor the desserts without creating a mess. This option is ideal for large gatherings with numerous guests. You can turn jalebis into bite-sized swirls and you can also turn gulab jamuns into mini gulab jamuns and serve it on skewers. This style is perfect for cocktail-style parties where guests often prefer small and handheld options.
2. Add a Fusion Twist
Fusion desserts bring together traditional recipes with contemporary flavors, creating an amazing experience that you’d want to remember forever. Some fusion treats might include the addition of ingredients like chocolate and caramel. You can pair up chocolate with malpuas, gulab jamuns, rasmalai, and so many desserts. For caramel, you can use desserts like shahi tukda and barfi then drizzle homemade caramel sauce over it for presentation. For a more global appeal, you can infuse mocha, salted caramel, and matcha into the desserts as well.
3. Creative Plating & Presentation
Creative plating involves serving desserts in beautiful platters and bowls so the desserts get an effortlessly appealing look without you needing to decorate it much with garnishes. Little shot glasses, prism bowls, elegant tiered platters, edible flowers, golden sprinkles, and designer plates. This will make the desserts give off the celebration vibe without you needing to spend extra time in decoration and plating. All you have to do is just serve the desserts in elegant plates and bowls and see how they sell themselves.
4. Pair with Modern Elements
Modern elements make traditional desserts more eye-catching and delightful. Modern desserts like cheesecake, mousse, and tiramisu have been the talk of the town ever since social media spread the word about their recipes throughout the world. Now, Indian dessert creators are bringing these modern desserts into traditional recipes, making them more appealing to young dessert lovers who always like to try something new and adventurous. By fusing the traditional Indian treats with modern desserts, you can create a new recipe that your guests may have never seen before. Some fusion dessert ideas include cheesecake gulab jamun, jalebi layered mousse, gajar ka halwa tart, and layered kheer parfait. These treats are easy to make and assemble, even though they look so time-consuming and complicated.
5. Garnish Smartly
Garnishing is always the icing on the top, without which a cake might just seem like a loaf of bread. Garnishing desserts is an important part when it comes to preparing the treats for a special occasion. When you want the desserts to look as appealing as the decorations of the party, you need to enhance them with the addition of some elegant garnishes. To bring a luxurious look, you can add a sprinkle of gold and silver dust, edible gold leaf, gold-coated nuts, saffron strands, and cocoa dust to make the desserts look festive.
