11 Instagram-Worthy Indian Food Trends to Try

2. Desi Tiramisu Variations

Desi tiramisu borrows the Italian technique but swaps flavors for Indian favorites—think filter coffee-soaked biscuits, Parle-G layers, rasmalai cream, or even Bournvita dust. The appeal on Instagram is all about clean layers in a glass: coffee-soaked crumbs, pale mascarpone- or rabri-style cream, and a final dusting or drizzle. For home cooks in the US, use strong brewed espresso or instant coffee as a stand-in for filter coffee, and layer with crushed Parle-G replacements like Marie biscuits. Paneer or hung curd can help mimic the creamy base if mascarpone is hard to source.
