This frozen delight has layers of chocolate, vanilla, and nutty flavours, along with dipping sauces (caramel, hello!). Pre-order only; for extra chill vibes and excitement, visit the TFLP Scoop Store in Ballygunge. Other than that, the Jalapeno Cream Cheese flavour is salty vanilla ice cream with a tart of spicy jalapeno at its centre, tucked between two layers of biscuit.

Chocolate Bomb At Haagen Dazs
The texture of the ice cream is excellent. The Chocolate Bomb is a large chocolate ball with four scoops of unusual ice cream flavours within and seasonal fruits, chocolate brownies, whipped cream, and butterscotch chips on top. The enjoyable part is pouring hot chocolate fondue over the top of the ball, which causes the chocolate ball to melt and become a divine treat. It deserves a spot on your Insta story for sure! Other than this, each ice cream presentation is the pinnacle of creative thinking. Get the Eiffel Tower, Belgian Chocolate with Waffles, and Banana Split too!
Timings: 11 AM to 10 PM. Closed on Wednesdays

Fruit Basket At Icy fusion
In any situation, a hearty serving of ice cream may lift our spirits! The distinctive concept that Icy Fusion offers truly appealed to us. The Lavacious (a bestseller!), Ferrero Fudge, Nutella Ferrero, Choco Blast, and Mr Brownie are just a few of the delectable treats available for chocolate enthusiasts. The Fruit Fusion--multi-flavoured ice cream infused with fresh-cut exotic fruits, Fruit Basket (a fruity punch of apple, plum, and kiwi along with fun toppings), and Pina Crunch (a mixture of pineapple crunch ice cream plus fresh pineapple, praline, choc chips, and choco sticks)—are must-order desserts if you enjoy fruity flavours.

Stardust Vanilla At Mama Mia
Stardust Vanilla is here to raise the ice cream tasting experience at Mama Mia to an entirely different level, so there's no point in returning to vanilla and standard chocolate ice cream. The Stardust Vanilla, which uses premium vanilla and gets its texture and colour from activated charcoal, has been an international hit. For those who enjoy whisky, the dark chocolate gelato has a wicked twist thanks to a splash of Black Label whisky's smoky flavour. It's 96% fat-free, so you won't have to worry about calories while still enjoying the flavour! And, yes, the flavouring is alcohol-free. Remember to cool off with a variety of vegan popsicles, too! Raspberry Pop, Green Mango Tango Pop, Jamun Pop, Alphonso Mango Pop, Virgin Mojito Lemon Pop, and Hawaiian Pineapple Pop are among the various varieties.

Ice-Cream Tacos At Rollick
Exciting ice cream taco variations are available at Rollick, Kolkata's classic ice cream shop, which takes its cues from the classic Mexican taco. If you enjoy chocolate, choose Chunky Chocolate, which combines chocolate, brownies, nuts, and other mouthwatering components in a crispy taco shell. Are you tired of the same old Tutti-Frutti? Choose The Fruit Explosion instead. It is a satisfying tart treat for all fruit lovers.

Ice Creams By Kookie Jar
Alright, so Kookie Jar—yes, the famous one from 1985—now makes wonderful artisanal ice creams. No eggs or strange ingredients, just all-natural, fresh cream in small amounts. The palettes? French vanilla, strawberry, salted caramel, cappuccino, Belgian chocolate, and this fantastic orange and orange rind. While the coffee and chocolate remain timeless, the orange one? Refreshing, zingy, and citrusy; excellent for the summers in Kolkata.

Turkish Ice Cream From Turkisyano
Heads up, there are 44 kinds of Turkish ice cream listed on the menu; however, only 12 are available most time. You have the option of trying the flavours before you place your order. Turkish coffee in a cup and a cone was our choice. Good taste, good servings, and a great design. You might opt for the extravaganza of an ice cream juggle. Mango, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, and strawberry are among the other flavours you can try. Trust me, the ice cream will feel extremely unique and delectable once you have put in all the work to wrangle it from the guy.
