Easy-to-make Tricolor Dessert Sandwich with Everyday Ingredients

Ingredients:

• 6 white bread slices preferably soft
• 2 tablespoons butter for spreading
• 1/4 cup condensed milk for sweetness
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar for sweetness
• 1/2 cup fresh cream for creaminess
• Few drops of food color in the form of green, orange and white
• 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder or chocolate syrup
• 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam
• A few chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)

Method:

Take the six pieces of white bread and cut the edges to form neat squares or rectangles. Set them aside. Now, prepare the fillings for each color. In a bowl, whisk together fresh cream, condensed milk, and powdered sugar until smooth. Divide the mixture into three equal portions. To one portion, add a few drops of orange food color to create the orange layer. To the other portion, add cocoa powder or chocolate syrup for a rich, brown layer. And for the third layer mix green color.

Begin with one slice of bread and spread a layer of green color on it. Place another slice of bread on top, then gently press it down. On top of the second slice, spread the orange cream mixture. Place another slice of bread, pressing it gently to make sure it sticks. Finally, spread the chocolate or brown cream on top. You can garnish the top with chopped nuts or even a drizzle of strawberry jam to finish off the look. Once assembled, gently press down to secure the sandwich and cut it into smaller portions—triangles or squares.

While the ingredients above give you a fantastic starting point, feel free to get creative. You can use other sweet fillings such as mango pulp, whipped cream, or even custard for added flavor.

If you feel creative, you can add a hint of cardamom powder or rose essence to the cream mixture, giving your sandwich a more exotic taste. For the base, you can use whole wheat bread or multigrain bread for a slightly healthier option, though it won't look quite as vibrant.

These modifications will still make the dessert a fun, patriotic snack perfect for Republic Day celebrations.
