Lemon Curd Tart

Lemon curd tarts are a burst of sunshine on your festive table. The zesty, tangy filling made with fresh lemons, sugar, and eggs offers a refreshing contrast to the crisp, buttery tart crust.

With a flaky pie crust, the pie will embody the sweetness and richness of the season. Enjoy chilled, and it makes for a great refreshing treat on Basant Panchami.

Saffron and Pistachio Tart

Topped with whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon, this pie is both comforting and festive.

Orange Blossom Tart

This is a citrus delight with fresh orange tart, giving a nice, tangy flavor of oranges that make it the best dessert for Basant Panchami. It has a filling of orange juice, zest, and floral orange blossom water to give it an unusual fragrance. The golden-yellow tart is quite accompanied by crumbly yet buttery texture for the crust -a perfect and tasteful experience, which seems just lightening as a dessert at the final moments of one's festive season meal.

Pineapple Coconut Pie

The tropical flavors of pineapple and coconut blend to create the most vibrant pie for Basant Panchami. Rich nutty coconut balances the tangy pineapple filling, creating the perfect contrast. A touch of warmth and sweetness comes through yellow colors from the pineapple, and a creamy coconut topping. This tropical pie can bring the much-needed uniqueness to your Basant Panchami celebrations.

Turmeric Lemon Pie

A match made in heaven, this warm golden hue of turmeric matches the bright zestiness of lemon in this one-of-a-kind flavor pie. Filling the heart of the pie is a curd made of turmeric-infused lemon, with a vibrant yellow color and an assertive, citrusy taste. The crunchy pie crust forms a great contrast to the filling, which tastes incredibly creamy. It is a masterpiece that looks just as great, and this festival's yellow theme finds a healthy spin.

Yellow Peach Tart

When soft, juicy yellow peaches combine with rich almond cream filling, the tart can hardly get prettier. But it also becomes a true showstopper to taste because it has this added natural sweetness with the almond cream filling, providing a nutty richness in balance with their flavor. Yellow peaches and cream tones will brighten up the Basant Panchami feast. Best when chilled or served at room temperature.
