Motichoor Rabri Parfait is a modern take on traditional Indian desserts. Make this simple to amke pparfait this Diwali and impress your friends and family. Here is how to make it.
Diwali is just round the corner, this festival of Lights is something special for all Indians. It’s an occasion to remove the darkness and bring light into our lives and homes, to renew our bonds with friends and family and to brighten the world around.
We have celebrated this festival with much fanfare all years through. I love cooking and for every festival make special recipes. My friends & family love these recipes that I make for them. I remember the times when my mother used to make all the sweets for Diwali and me and my sisters used to distribute them in the neighborhood and enjoy the treats to our heart’s content.
My favorite used to be Motichoor Ke Laddu and I used to look forward to them on Diwali.
This Diwali is again going to be special as after a lot of years our family will be together for Diwali. My sister is flying down to meet us for Diwali all the way from USA. I’m looking forward to celebrate this Diwali once again by recreating the magic using Motichoor Ke Laddu.
Incidentally I realize that she is taking Lufthansa flight directly to Bangalore and they will serve amazing Laddus in their in-flight Diwali menu, so the celebration is going to start en-route for her. I’m using the Motichoor Ke Laddu to make Motichoor Rabri Parfait.

October 15, 2015 at 12:29 pmHi Neha,
I could not take off my eyes off your recipe. Actually I’m very much into dessert and sweet inventions. I’m a home based entrepreneur and take orders for chocolates and desserts. I sold a similar motichoor version last year for diwali which still remains the most ordered dessert for me, just that I used phirni instead of rabdi. I’m dying to try your version too. I invented a gulab jamun trifle recipe last month for my blog too. I’m a huge fan of layered and individual desserts and your recipe made my day.. Shall try it asap.
Plus I keep visiting your blog and love all your recipes, one of my favourite blogs 🙂

October 28, 2016 at 3:25 amSuch a wonderful recipe. I was wondering, could I make rabdi a day earlier and arrange parfait the next day, just before serving?

June 7, 2018 at 12:12 pmHi Neha. This looks gorgeous. One question though, if we assemble this and refrigerate overnight, will the ladoos won’t become soggy? What method is best tasting? Preassembly or assembling just before serving?

June 7, 2018 at 5:08 pmThe ladoos with soak up the rabdi and becomes really yumm. But you can definitely choose to make it just before serving.
