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.
My favorite dessert for Diwali used to be Motichoor Ke Laddu and I used to look forward to them on Diwali. I’m using the Motichoor Ke Laddu to make Motichoor Rabri Parfait.

Hi Neha,
This one is an outstanding recipe, I’ve tried it and came out sooo well.
This time I want to make it for a lactose intolerance friend, is it possible to make with ALMOND MILK? Please let me know.
Thanks in advance 🙏🏼
Yes, sure, you can use almond milk.
Thank you 🙏🏼😊
This recipe looks really yummy, going to try this for the Diwali mithai exchange with my friends this year. Is there a certain size of the glass/container that you use. And is glass preferred?
Thanks!
I like to make it in 100 ml glasses. They are perfect for a single serving.
When you say full cream milk, do you mean heavy whipping cream or vitamin D milk?
It’s full fat milk.
Hi 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?
The ladoos with soak up the rabdi and becomes really yumm. But you can definitely choose to make it just before serving.
It is just superb but can I get substitute of motichoor laddu?
You can use any dry Indian Mithai.
OMG…thts what came out of my mouth when i saw this…made it for diwali dinner and it was a superhit..i jst added saffron in rabri to give tht extra punch…thanks for coming out with this idea..
Thnx a lot for trying Poonam 🙂
Such a wonderful recipe. I was wondering, could I make rabdi a day earlier and arrange parfait the next day, just before serving?
Yes Neha. You can do it.
amazing pics and a wonderful twist to a traditional twist..have featured it here 🙂
Can you please post the recipe of motichoor ladoo…thank you for your wonderful and awesome recipes.
Hi 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 🙂
Thnx a lot Arunima for taking time and leaving a comment. Much appreciate 🙂
