After a
meal, we frequently have a craving for something sweet. Most people cannot fulfil their hunger until they consume some sweets or a sweet dish after the
meal. So, sweets are a necessary part of our lives.

The
majority of celebrations, such as weddings, engagements, births, Eid, religious
festivals, and many more, seem incomplete in Pakistan without sweets.

Considering
how high in sugar and fat they are, you shouldn’t overindulge. But if you do
crave to indulge in something really sweet and delicious, choose one of
Pakistan’s top 15 desserts.

1. Gulab Jamun

Gulab
Jamun is a matchless dessert. Because rosewater and milk are used in
conjunction, it has a distinctive flavour. The ingredients are combined, formed
into balls, and then deep-fried until they are golden brown.

The
delightful rosewater and cardamom syrup are then spread over the balls and
served. Although you can offer it warm or cold, I advise you to eat it warm.
Add some almonds or pistachios for additional flavours and textures.

2. Jalebi

How is
it possible for anything to be both crunchy and juicy at once?

 Jalebi can, in
fact. It is highly popular street food in Pakistan that is frequently offered
at gatherings, festivals, and other events. Children will undoubtedly fall for
it, but adults will also become addicted to it.

Some
individuals believe it would be challenging to produce such a sophisticated
texture. But that’s just untrue.

 To keep the crispy texture of the fried dough,
the secret to producing this treat is to dip it in the syrup before serving it
hot right away.

3. Gajreela

Every
Pakistani loves to eat gajreela, a fantastic winter treat. Gajreela will be
prepared at least once every year throughout the winter. Carrots and milk are
the ingredients. Added flavours include nuts and cardamom.

You may
create a creamy concoction with a stunning orange hue and a rich, sweet flavour
by boiling milk with ground carrots. After that, cardamom adds more sweetness,
and nuts give the dessert a final crunch.

My
mother makes the best gajreela and she adds khoya (curd) to it and this makes the
gajreela much tastier.

On
chilly winter nights, a bowl of hot gajreela will keep you warm.

4. Kheer

This
rice pudding dish is another example of extreme self-indulgence. The velvety
pleasures of sweetened milk with slow-cooked rice are infused with saffron and
cardamom flavours, keeping you craving for more.

5. Chum Chum

Gulab
Jamuns’ sibling is a chum chum. It’s white and tastes slightly different. In
essence, chum chum is a classic Bengali delicacy well-liked across the Indian subcontinent, including Pakistan.

 In addition to white,
it is made in other colours such as light pink & yellow. As a garnish,
coconut or mawa flakes are sprinkled on top.

 Typically, one Chum Chum won’t be
enough to sate your sweet tooth. You end up licking your fingers after
finishing it all because it tastes so good.

6. Motti
chor Laddu

The most
typical laddu at any celebration, including mayo and engagements, is Moti
Choor.

 Gram flour (chickpea flour), wheat semolina, and ground coconut are some popular flours used in their composition. These are incorporated with
sugar and additional flavourings, cooked in ghee, and formed into balls.

 Although some people don’t like the flavour, most people really enjoy eating laddus.

7. Barfi

Barfi is
a favourite among all age groups. It is a compact milk piece that contains
condensed milk and sugar essence. 

There are various varieties of burfi, all of
which have flavours that are nearly identical but varied in colour. 

Barfis in
shades of green, white, and light brown are well known throughout Pakistan. In
addition to them, pistachio barfi & coconut barfi have rich flavours.

8. Sheer
Khurma

It is
really my favourite nowadays.

The
delicious pudding known as sheer khurma is everybody’s favourite
during Eid. Vermicelli, milk & dates are the primary ingredients,
which are prepared in a variety of ways with dried fruits. 

9. Suji
Ka Halwa

Typically,
suji (semolina) ka halwa is prepared on holy and auspicious days. However,
because it is offered with poori & chana curry, it is an extremely
important part of Pakistani mornings. 

It is typically served raw. To
increase flavour, though, many often enjoy putting in khoya and almonds.

10.
Vermicelli (seviyan)

Without
Seviyan, there can be no Eid in Pakistan.

Vermicelli
noodles, milk, & cardamom are combined to make the tasty pudding known as
seviyan. Notably, every home has a different recipe. Every household appears to
prepare Seviyan in a unique method.

You
pacify yourself with Pakistani culture by making seviyan.

11.
Zarda

Rice is
a common ingredient in Pakistani desserts, and Zarda is one of the most well-known.
It is cooked with basmati rice, a long-grain variety of rice that has a nutty,
spicy, and flowery aroma.

Its
delicious flavour is difficult to put into words. But it has an amazing
flavour. Don’t forget to sprinkle some nuts on top. The best finish is theirs.

12.
Patisa

Patisa
is a delicious candy with a modern, distinctive design. Its beautiful
presentations are what has made it famous.

People
go nuts eating this delectable mouth-watering dessert because the Desi ghee
increases its rich flavour.

13.
Falooda

The most
well-known sweet dish in existence, falooda is both a drink and a dessert.

There
are numerous falooda recipes, but they all call for milk, vermicelli, ice
cream, and chia seeds.

14. Shahi
Tukdy

The name
“Shahi Tukda” approximately translates to “royal dish.” It
is a sophisticated sweet dessert that is greatly cherished in Pakistan.

15.
Sohan Halwa

A
speciality of Multan, a city in the southern part of the Punjab province, is
Sohan halwa. It has delicious brown squares including some nuts.
