What if your Diwali phuljhadi came with a chocolate coating instead of sparks? Food creators Mehak and Rituraj of @delhifoodnest have a fun, no-bake take on the festive favourite, turning biscuits, condensed milk and chocolate into edible sparklers. Easy to put together and finished with a dusting of edible silver glitter, these sweet treats make for a playful addition to your Diwali spread. Here's how to recreate them at home.
What you need: Biscuits, condensed milk, wooden sticks, melted chocolate, coconut oil, sugar, edible silver glitter
How to make edible phuljhadis
1. Make the biscuit dough: Crush your favourite biscuits into a fine powder. Add condensed milk and mix until it comes together into a soft dough.
2. Shape the sparklers: Take wooden sticks and mould the biscuit mixture around one end of each stick, shaping it like a phuljhadi.
3. Prepare the chocolate coating: Mix melted chocolate with a little coconut oil until smooth and pourable. Dip each biscuit stick into the melted chocolate and sprinkle with sugar.
4. Chill: Refrigerate for around 30 minutes until the chocolate sets and finish with edible silver glitter to give your sweet phuljhadis their festive shimmer.
