Dairy
We use local New York dairy for all of our signature flavors. Dairy, with its blank palate, is able to carry spices and flavors more robustly, creating the best end product.

-
Sweet Roti & Ghee
Bread, sugar, and butter -- we take that and ‘Indianize’ it with ingredients like roti, jaggery, and ghee.
-
Carrot Halwa
Carrots sautéed in ghee, and with a touch of cardamom. If you've ever had the carrot halwa dessert, you'll know exactly what to expect with this ice cream.
-
Pumpkin Garam Masala Crumble
Fall seasonal. The unexpected pumpkin spice: a pumpkin ice cream with the sweet and savory spices of garam masala, with a smoky black cardamom graham cracker folded throughout.
-
Masala Chai
A little sweet, and a little spicy. You will get hints of ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper in this flavor inspired by the classic tea.
-
Rose with Cinnamon Roasted Almonds
Our most popular! Sweet, floral and spiced - there is nothing that this ice cream doesn't hit. It's unlike anything you've had before, in the best possible way!
-
Sweet Milk
Think: condensed milk in ice cream form. Sweet simplicity.
-
Ghughra
Ghughra, little pockets of pastry filled with a nutty, milky and cardamom spiced mixture, is the ultimate Diwali treat.

Tulsi Chocolate Chip
This is the Malai version of the classic mint chocolate chip! Tulsi is a mix between mint and basil, with chocolate and cocoa nibs running throughout.

Kheer
Nutmeg and orange scented rice pudding is folded into our eggless ice cream base; our take on the classic dessert, Kheer.
-
Peda
Peda, a milk fudge, faintly spiced with cardamom and topped with pistachios, is a favorite at Malai. To round out the Malai Diwali lineup, we fortify our sweet milk ice cream with toasted milk powder and cardamom and then fold in roasted pistachios.

Vegan Spiced Peanut Crunch
Sweet, salty, nutty and spicy all in one! This is a rich, spiced peanut ice cream with the slightest amount of cayenne pepper. The best part: peanut chikki swirls (a brittle made with coconut oil and jaggery). Delicious!
-
Chocolate Coconut Burfi
A dairy-free rich chocolate sorbet swirled with a cardamom spiced coconut fudge. We love the chewy and creamy texture that the coconut burfi adds to this vegan frozen delight.
