1. Nutella Waffle
If your friends are all about indulgence, they won't say no to a Nutella waffle (or two). This dessert is warm, crisp and totally comforting. You can add extra Nutella, chocolate chips or even maple syrup. For the final touch of decadence, top it with ice cream.
2. Blueberry Pancakes
This is another warm dessert perfect for rainy days. Pancakes usually come in a stack, so they are great for sharing! Go all out and ensure that the blueberry pancakes are topped with whipped cream and maple syrup. After all, it's a Friendship Day celebration among true foodies!
3. Tiramisu
If you're in the company of coffee lovers, opting for good old tiramisu is a no-brainer. Catch up with your buddies as you take your time digging into the yummy layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone. If you're craving one right away, you can easily order it online. This Italian dessert is widely available nowadays.
4. Burnt Basque Cheesecake
If your friends are fans of fancy desserts, a nice Burnt Basque cheesecake won't disappoint. This treat is slightly charred and crusty on the outside, yet delicately sweet and creamy on the inside. It's the perfect choice for a serious food enthusiast's Friendship Day binge. If you want, you can top this cheesecake with different syrups, compote, chocolate sauce or even Nutella.
5. Chocolate Mousse
Many foodies will agree that chocolate is the best choice to celebrate the sweet yet serious bonds we share with best friends. So why not indulge in a classic chocolate dessert? If you don't prefer anything too heavy, relish a smooth and airy choco mousse.
6. Mini Gulab Jamun
If your friends enjoy desi desserts, stock up on mini gulab jamuns. You can serve them on toothpicks as a sweet starter for your Friendship Day party. Alternatively, you can pass around a box of them as you cosily binge-watch your favourite show together. Since they are already bite-sized, you don't have to worry about how they will be shared among a group.
7. Rasmalai
Seeking an elegant Indian dessert for Friendship Day 2025? We recommend the classic, crowd-favourite rasmalai. This delicacy is not about loud flavours. Rather, it offers soft and subtle satisfaction with its hints of saffron, cardamom and pistachio. Order it from a nearby sweet shop using a food delivery app. Don't forget to serve it cold.
8. Rava Kesari
South Indian-style Rava Kesari is generally associated with festive occasions. And we feel that Friendship Day deserves equal consideration. After all, our ties are sacred in a way. This dessert may also make you nostalgic about the festive holidays you spent with your friends while growing up.
9. Kulfi Falooda
Another nostalgia-inducing dessert is kulfi falooda. Just like your friend group, this dessert is chaotic and colourful. You can customise the contents of each serving, so your fussy pal doesn't need to worry. Ensure there's extra, as someone will always ask for seconds.
10. Fruit Custard With Jelly
If you like old-school dessert, opt for a vibrant bowl of fruit custard with jelly. It's cool, loaded and supremely delicious. Chunks of fresh fruit, creamy custard and wobbly jelly... it will feel like a trip down memory lane - back to the days of fun and frolic with your best buddies.
Happy Friendship Day 2025!

The Open Couple to visit Bengaluru, courtesy La Compagnie Dramatique
La Compagnie Dramatique, a theatre collective from Hyderabad is in the city and will present two engaging performances this weekend. The first is a theatrical reading of Ajay Krishnan's Butter and Mashed Banana, followed by the The Open Couple the next day. The Open Couple was written in 1983 by Italian playwright Dario Fo and his wife Franca Rame. It is a farce that explores the ideas of equality, hypocrisy and politics in a marriage. According to Faraz Khan, who is directing this production of The Open Couple, 'the writing was beautiful and the satire brilliant,' reasons he felt were more than enough to take up the play, apart from the legacy of Darian Fo who was a revolutionary in his own right. Even though he was captivated by Darian's work, Faraz who saw himself as a 'dramatic' actor, was reluctant to take on comic works until he was persuaded by fellow actor Vaishali Bisht's argument that 'theatre requires imagination'. 'I believe all good writers craft like music and there is a beautiful, poetic sort of rhythm within the dialogues of Darian's work. I began getting a lot of interesting ideas and soon I knew I wanted to treat certain sections of the play with sound,' says Faraz. 'I realised I didn't have to think so much; I could trust my instinct and direct the piece,' he adds. The Open Couple by La Compagnie Dramatique debuted in Hyderabad in 2013 and has been staged around 45 times across the country since then. Following a break in 2017, the troupe revived it again last year. 'It is something we are proud of because we've applied a lot of different nuances to it, including commedia dell'arte, which is an Italian comedic art form,' says Faraz. La Compagnie Dramatique will also be presenting a theatrical reading of Ajay Krishnan's Butter and Mashed Banana, a play they found at The Drama Library, an online repository of plays by little and not-too-well known writers, which is maintained by The Basha Centre for Performing Arts in Bengaluru. 'It is a marvellous piece of writing and one piece every member of our group felt we could perform when we read the entire script. We have received permission from Ajay for the reading,' says Faraz, adding that audiences will be treated to a cross between 'a reading and a staged production.' Butter and Mashed Banana will be presented on August 8 at Atta Galatta at 7.30pm; The Open Couple will be staged on August 9 at Jagriti Theatre at 3.30pm and 7.30pm. Tickets available on BookMyShow

Serena Williams' sister Venus Williams has one unavoidable condition for considering for getting plastic surgery
Venus Williams. Image via: Getty Images Serena Williams' sister Venus Williams is no stranger to the spotlight, but she's never allowed public pressure to dictate her choices, especially when it comes to her body. The 45-year-old tennis icon recently opened up about her views on cosmetic surgery, and while she hasn't gone under the knife for any aesthetic tweaks, she made it clear there's one specific reason she would consider it. Venus Williams sets her own standard for beauty Venus Williams. Image via:In a candid interview with Marie Claire UK, Venus Williams addressed the subject of cosmetic procedures with refreshing honesty. 'If I felt like I wanted to feel better about myself, and that's what made me feel better, I would totally do it,' she said. While she asserted that she's currently happy with her appearance saying, 'I would prefer to keep my look, you know,' Williams made it clear that personal empowerment matters more than public approval. 'So many people are judging other people,' she added. 'But if it makes somebody feel good, that's all that matters.' The message would resonate in an age where even elite athletes are expected to maintain impossible beauty standards. Her recent return to professional tennis after undergoing fibroid surgery has made headlines. She missed over a year due to health issues but came back in July at the Mubadala Citi DC Open and earned her first match win in 16 months. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Was Everyone's Dream Girl In 90's, This Is Her Now The Latest Article Undo Venus Williams reveals details on her comeback and a personal message Though Venus Williams has faced her share of physical challenges, including a hip replacement and knee issues she jokingly refers to as 'aged 80'—she's not done yet. 'I feel young [for] my age, physically,' she shared, though she admitted her body hasn't always made it easy. But despite the hurdles, Williams shared that she still loves playing. "Maybe there's more. I haven't played in a year. There is no doubt I can play tennis. I'm still the same player. I'm a big hitter. I hit big. This is my brand." And while she prepares for a potential run at the US Open, she's also embracing another personal milestone, her engagement to Italian actor Andrea Preti . His support, she says, helped fuel her comeback. 'There were so many times where I just wanted to coast and kind of chill... he encouraged me to get through this and it's wonderful to be here.'
