With India’s 80th Independence Day just around the corner, the only way to celebrate it is with a themed spread. Paying homage to the national flag, you can whip up tricolour desserts for a spread.
A tricolour cake is the easiest way to throw an Independence Day-themed party. Just bake three coloured batches and stack them together with cream.
For a healthy dessert, you can make a parfait by layering coloured cream or chopped fruits.
Add some natural colour to classic vanilla cookie dough and arrange them in a tricolour for Independence Day.
If you want to make a traditional sweet, you can make modak in three different colours: saffron-infused, classic white, and pistachio-paste.
With three flavours of ice cream, orange, vanilla, and mint, you can make a tricolour sundae and serve the themed dessert.
