This day calls for a treat, so make easy desserts like ice cream sandwiches and more. These treats are not only delicious; they are made with love and tailored to make Children’s Day even more special.

Empanadas

A popular South American fried food, empanadas can be made into savory or sweet snacks. Roll out the maida dough and cut out circles. Place the filling – cheese, meat, vegetables – in the middle. You can also use cream cheese with marmalades or jams, as well as fruit compotes as a filling in empanadas. Top it with dough. Fry it, air fry it, or bake it. Serve hot.

Pizza toast

Who can say no to pizza? Use slices of sourdough bread and toast them. Spread pizza sauce on the toast, which contains hidden vegetables, such as tomatoes, red bell peppers, carrots, onions and beets. Sprinkle with oregano and pepper, as well as grated cheese. Add protein to pizza with cubed chicken or paneer. Grill on the tawa and serve hot.

Bala Baïana

A decadent and easy-to-prepare Brazilian dessert, these Bala Baianas will be a hit with your kids. Heat the desiccated coconut, condensed milk and butter until thickened. Leave to cool then form balls with this sweet dough. Make a caramel by melting sugar and water and dip these balls into it. The caramel will instantly harden upon contact with the cold Bala Baianas. Pop one in your mouth and enjoy its satisfying crunch and creamy interior.

Ice cream sandwiches

Whether you use homemade or store-bought chocolate chip cookies, involve your kids in this after-meal dessert. Arrange two cookies of similar sizes on a plate. Have your children choose the ice cream of their choice. Pour the ice cream over the cookies and sandwich them. Roll into nuggets and enjoy.

Noodle sandwich

Noodles and bread? This may sound like carb overload, but it’s a fun combination that kids love. You can keep it simple by making instant noodles and adding vegetables, cheese and sauces. On plain white bread, add a little mayonnaise, spread some grated cheese and place the noodles on top. Close it with another slice of bread. Grill it until the cheese melts and the bread turns golden brown.
