You don't have to do much, get whipped cream from market and add finely chopped fruits of your brother's choice to it. 

2. Halwa- You can make any halwa of your brother's choice like moong dal, bottle gourd, semolina, or wheat flour halwa and top it with dry fruits, etc. . This delicious halwa made by you will make the festival of Raksha Bandhan memorable for your brother.

3. Cake or pastry- Instead of traditional sweets, you can also make cake or pastry for your brother. Offer your brother a cake or pastry of his favourite flavor.

4. Donuts- Nowadays young people like to eat donuts rather than traditional sweets. In this case, you can also give him donuts after tying the rakhi. 

5. Mewa Kheer- Many a time brothers love homemade kheer. You can also add a lot of dry fruits and make kheer for your brother. Don't forget to refrigerate it before serving. Also, you can make Shrikhand from curd. It's also quite easy to make.
