on Oct 14, 2024 If there’s one Diwali dessert that you’ve got to try out this season, it has to be this Orange Makhana Pudding. Rich, kesari pudding paired with zesty orange is the most perfect combination. Sweet, creamy, citrus-y goodness! We serve this makhana pudding in a halved orange peel so that it looks as good as it tastes. Truly such a stunner dessert that’s made for the festive table! 

Ingredients Overview

You’ll be surprised how healthy the ingredients for this pudding are! The base for the pudding is blitzed phool makhana along with some hung curd, which makes this a protein-rich dessert. We also add almonds, saffron, milk, orange juice and zest, and sweeten with honey.  It’s deliciousness that’s good for you and I feel so happy serving healthy Diwali sweets like these for my loved ones!  If you’ve been busy menu planning for get togethers and wondering what easy Diwali sweets to make for your guests, then this Orange Makhana Pudding is just what you need.  Some fresh oranges, healthy ingredients, and less than an hour is all it takes to put together this gorgeous dessert. Pass everyone an orange pudding cup and get back to those Diwali card party scenes with big smiles all around! 😄 If you liked this recipe, be sure to check out my Paneer Chocolate Pudding, Festive Chocolate Rice Kheer, Easy Rice Kheer, and Mum’s Gulab Phirni.
