Barfi’s best qual­i­ties are per­fect­ly re­flect­ed in one of Dreamy Creamy’s most pop­u­lar ice-creams. One look at the moun­tain­ous scoop and you know you’re in for a per­fect­ly sweet, spiced and creamy ex­pe­ri­ence. The clas­sic In­di­an del­i­ca­cy has been a fea­tured flavour in Dreamy Creamy’s ice-creams since Oc­to­ber 2014.

The ice-cream doesn’t on­ly look ex­act­ly like barfi but, it al­so smells and tastes like the most favoured Di­vali dessert. It’s sig­na­ture white colour with flecks of rain­bow sprin­kles were bril­liant­ly repli­cat­ed in frozen form. Some­how, they even man­aged to make the ice-cream look as creamy as a barfi should be.

When it comes to taste, sig­na­ture notes of gin­ger and car­damom im­me­di­ate­ly hit you. The spice starts from the pun­gency of gin­ger and mel­lows out to re­lease the car­damom’s notes. The ice-cream then cools down to that mel­low, fa­mil­iar, slight­ly pow­dery milky taste that we all know and love. You can even tell that there’s a healthy help­ing of con­densed milk in the for­mu­la­tion—af­ter all, noth­ing else can mim­ic that deep deca­dence.

We opt­ed for a choco­late and rain­bow sprin­kle-dec­o­rat­ed waf­fle cone and then, upped the ante and sug­ar con­tent with ad­di­tion­al rain­bow sprin­kles on­top of our two scoops of barfi ice-cream. The re­sults were mag­i­cal. Sure, there may have got a sug­ar rush af­ter but, the co­coa and barfi were a per­fect com­bi­na­tion and, the added sweet­ness of the rain­bow sprin­kles just re­mind­ed us even more (if that was pos­si­ble) of a much sought-af­ter thick square of barfi.

The on­ly thing that was miss­ing was chunks of barfi- but, that may just be us get­ting a bit greedy and over-in­dul­gent. The unique­ness of this ice-cream, de­spite it’s name, is the per­me­ation of the aro­mat­ics through­out the dessert with­out be­ing over­pow­er­ing. This flavour could have eas­i­ly gone wrong and ven­tured in­to ‘taste-like-per­fume’ ter­ri­to­ry. How­ev­er, it was mas­ter­ful­ly done and we’d love to see a choco­late or cashew barfi vari­a­tion.

Though we’re a bit late to the train, there’s al­ways some­one who may not have ex­pe­ri­enced Dreamy Creamy’s not-so-hid­den gem. Of course, a pint of barfi ice-cream (and maybe one or two oth­ers) was tak­en home. Vis­it Dreamy Creamy to get your barfi ice-cream fix this Di­vali.
