No Cook Diwali Desserts, Easy Vegan Rainbow Platter

For the festival season ahead, here are a few No Cook Diwali Desserts which are very easy to make and at the same time visually so appealing.

The first recipe is a very famous Maa Ladoo recipe from Tamilnadu. This is an age-old dessert and requires very few ingredients. It is customary to prepare Maladoo for any auspicious occasion. Traditionally melted ghee is the binding agent for these melt in mouth ladoos. For vegan option, you can either add melted coconut oil or any vegan milk. My personal preference is to add coconut milk or almond milk. But one thing to keep in mind is that the shelf life of ladoo made with milk will be just a day or two. Whereas the ladoos made using ghee have a very long shelf life.

For some variation, the maladoo has been rolled in cranberry powder to give it a beautiful vibrant pink color.

The second recipe is peanut ladoo which is another simple dessert, requiring just two ingredients. For some variation, I have added spirulina powder for the lovely blue hue.

I hope you will try these easy No Cook Diwali Desserts this Diwali and let me know your feedback.
