Gorging on desserts is an integral part of Diwali celebrations. But, apart from just cooking up a storm and filling our kitchens with appetising sweet treats, there’s a lot more that Diwali brings. We get busy cleaning their houses, deciding on Laxmi puja, and buying new clothes among other things. So, it gets challenging to spend hours in the kitchen cooking sweet dishes. Also, in general, most of us don’t get enough holidays on this occasion which automatically, makes it impossible to get involved in cooking. But then we don’t really want to order sweets from outside either because something you make is surely special and gives the festivity a personal touch. So, what could be the solution? Maybe, look for recipes that are easy and can be prepared quickly. Here’s a list of seven finger-licking desserts that can be made at the last moment.

Sweet and delectable barfis make for an important part of the festive celebrations. And there’s a wide variety of barfi recipes available out there.
