Holi typically includes sweet treats such as gujiya, peda, malpua, and pooda. There’s nothing wrong with these dishes. It’s just not my thing, though I do love throwing Holi parties with a robust spread of colorful desserts.

If you’re like me and looking for unconventional dishes that express the colorfulness of Holi, I offer you the curated list below.  Some of these recipes are rifts on more traditional recipes and others are modern, western dishes spun for Holi. All the dishes, however, are chock full of color in creative and tasty ways!

1. Colorful Kulfi

2. Sponge Cake

This is a gorgeous cake which is Spring in edible form! Being a from- scratch cake means there are various steps in the cooking process but the end result is well worth it. Get the recipe here.

8. Malpua

This recipe and the reason for the color goes straight to my heart. Blogger Anita Mokashi explains, “There was one more reason for this recipe to be special and that it’s MULTICOLOR. The colorful malpuas depict the beautiful colors of holi and multifaceted women.” AMEN!

As if the reason for the coloring wasn’t fantastic enough, all the food coloring in this recipe uses natural food dyes found in beetroot, carrot juice, palak juice and saffron. To get the recipe, click here.

9. Thandai Cream

These chocolate cups are the perfect holding cells for a bevy of foods. You could load ’em up with fresh fruit or ice cream. Get the recipe here.
