Ice cream, loved all-round the year, can act like a balm on a hot sweltering summer afternoon. This decadent dessert pairs well with a host of ingredients from mint, dry-fruits, to fruits such as guava or even papaya! The Godrej Food Trend Report (GFTR) 2022 predicts the rise of indulgent well-crafted artisanal ice creams in 2022.

As the heat refuses to budge, we decided to round up a list of some of our favourite ice creams you can try or add to your wish list!
