Every year the night prior to (or early morning of) Eid, I stay up making and baking everything for the day after. Whilst I try to make something different for every occasion, finding what to make is generally the hardest part. I’m sure I am not alone on this, so I decided to do a post on just some inspiration (with recipes!) on what you could make.
PS: Try not to drool on your laptop 
I haven’t personally tried all of these recipes, I simply skimmed through the ingredients and results.
Dark Chocolate Pie with Cocoa Nib Praline
Black and white cookies (these would be amazing individually wrapped!)
White chocolate cheesecake bars
And here’s just a few inspirational twists on the classics
White chocolate cheesecake, topped with chocolate ganache, mini meringue toffee and an oreo (I would make the crust with oreo cookies too)
Fruit Rubiks cube, made with kiwi fruit, watermelon and feta. I’d substitute the feta for nougat
I don’t know what this is but it’s gorgeous. I would put a meringue in the centre and decorate with white chocolate shavings
I adore this- an alternative to the cupcake. I would make a full cake then cut into squares, and layer with cream cheese/chocolate ganache/icing
3 layered chocolate mousse. I’m not entirely sure how to get the chocolate decoration though, anyone have any ideas, please leave a comment
I am quite sure that these are truffles, but I think it would be incredibly yummy to coat ice cream balls in chocolate like this (sort of like Italian kisses with better quality chocolate)
I hope you liked the ideas, Tweet me if you’re trying any of them!

(For the 3 layered chocolate mousse) recently I saw someone somewhere make chocolate bowls by covering the end of blown up balloons with choc and leaving to set then deflating the balloon, maybe you could do similar with those long balloons then cutting (carefully) into? Or cling film/foil round a rolling pin? I have to try that rubics cube though!
I think I may try foil around a rolling pin, wish me luck!
Good luck =]
salaams – the chocolate curls are done as follows – take a sheet of acetate – pour a little brown chocolate and smear randomly .when half set pour white chocolate over and smooth to cover acetate leaving no gaps. allow to half set and cut into long diamond strips -roll acetate in the opposite direction to the diamond shape creating a tube – stick down with cellotape and refridgerate for 5mins .remove from fridge -unroll sheet and wallah.all done.
good luck
I’ll be trying this out!
Love all th ideas – think th rubrik cube is somethng really unique – might jus try it..
As 4 th choc decoration – maybe u could use the new “balloon technique” where you apply white choc 1st in a spiral shape.. Then paint normal choc over.. And wen it sets – pop th balloon( keeps th round shape)
Thanks for the idea!
Argh now I’m just more liss to go make all dat…. But yes they are all lovely alternatives to ţђε ususal. I make marbled cheesecake squares that are v yumm like d first pic. N my death by choc cupcakes I bake n den fill into lil choc cups..n pour ganache n blackberries. Its yumm too
For the chocolate curls on the mousse, you could do the same as the acetate but on a rectangular piece of transparency, precute the chocolate in lengthy triangles along the transparency, twist the transparency and puch into an empty kitchen towel roll, allow to cool in the fridge. once hard carfully full off the transparency, it leaves a gloss to the chocolate curls too..Tries and Tested…
stunning ideas! i have no idea what to make for eid too. my mother sticks to the same old biscuits and stuff. so unimaginative lol (indian mothers). jope you have a lovely Eid:)
