Indian weddings are known for their grandeur, vibrant decor, and, most importantly, their mouth-watering dishes and array of sweets. Desserts are more than just an afterthought.
They are a central part of weddings because we believe “muh meetha karna” is a symbol of joy, prosperity, and new beginnings. With each passing season, trends in wedding desserts are also evolving. Here are some trending sweets to add to your catering menu to impress your guests!
Rabri Jalebi Shots
Imagine a freshly made, crispy jalebi paired with creamy Rabri in individual shot glasses. Sounds tempting? Now, you know why this delightful combination is one of the most popular choices for wedding couples.
After all, these “mini-desserts” will allow your guests to enjoy multiple treats without overindulging, and the presentation in shot glasses will add an elegant twist.
Baked Gulab Jamun
We cannot imagine a wedding without a big piece of Gulab Jamun. So, this season, why not add a twist to it? Serve the baked version of the sweet, with a slightly different texture than the classic fried one.
The sweet, milky flavor of gulab jamun paired with a drizzle of rose syrup and garnished with edible flowers offers a modern twist while maintaining the original charm.
Ghevar Rabri Cheesecake
Ghevar, a traditional Rajasthani delicacy, has now made its place among the fusion Indian desserts. The crunchy texture of Ghevar, topped with Rabri and paired with a creamy cheesecake layer, creates a unique blend of flavors.
If you’re having a summer wedding, you can go for a mango-flavored cheesecake, whereas if it’s winter, saffron-cardamom flavor will be perfect!
Flavored Barfis
While barfi has always been mandatory at Indian weddings, adding unique flavors has become a new trend. Go for flavors like rose, coffee, paan, and chocolate, each flavor adding a distinct color and taste, making the dessert all the more appealing.
Paan Barfi, in particular, has been a hit at many weddings for its refreshing flavor, which acts as an after-dinner mouth freshener.
Rasgulla Tiramisu
Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert that tastes like coffee and cocoa powder. Why not give it an Indian twist with rasgulla as its star ingredient?
The sweet, spongy, and milky texture of rasgulla paired wonderfully with tiramisu. Rasgulla Tiramisu creates a unique, light, and flavorful dessert. You can serve the dessert in mini cups, adding a chic look to the dessert.
Rasmalai Tarts
A beloved Indian dessert, Rasmalai holds a special place in our hearts. Add a unique twist to the creamy, saffron-infused dessert in the form of tarts! These mini tarts filled with Rasmalai in the buttery, crispy tarts will surely stand out on your dessert table.
Conclusion
Each of these sweets is a sophisticated combination of traditional flavors and modern presentation that will give your guests an unforgettable culinary experience.
When selecting the desserts for your wedding, consider a mix of fusion and classic options, with attention to presentation and ease of serving. A thoughtfully curated dessert plate will leave a lasting impression and make your wedding the talk of the season!
