How to Easily Make Diwali Sweets at Home?

Diwali, the festival of lights, is incomplete without the delicious aroma of freshly made sweets filling the air.

However, with busy schedules, not everyone has the time to spend hours in the kitchen. But don’t worry, you can still prepare delicious Diwali sweets at home easily, with simple recipes that require minimal effort yet deliver maximum flavor.

In this blog post, we will explore how to make Diwali sweets at home with minimal fuss and suggest some of the most beloved Indian sweet recipes.

Easiest Diwali Sweet Recipes to Make at Home

1. Coconut Ladoo – The Simplest and Tastiest Sweet

Coconut Ladoo is one of the simplest Indian sweets that you can make for Diwali. It requires minimal ingredients and takes just 20-30 minutes to prepare. Plus, it’s a crowd favorite, loved by both kids and adults.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of grated coconut (fresh or desiccated)
  • 1 cup of condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon of GheeStore Pure Cow Ghee
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder
  • A handful of chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions:

  7. If you like, roll the ladoos in some more grated coconut or garnish with chopped nuts.
  8. Let them cool completely and store them in an airtight container.

Tip: You can use fresh or desiccated coconut for this recipe. Fresh coconut will give the ladoos a moist texture, while desiccated coconut will offer a slightly chewy texture.
