5 Unique Ice Cream Flavors You Must Try from NIC

Let's be honest; most ice cream shops stick to the same boring lineup. Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, maybe mint chips if they're feeling adventurous. But NIC Ice Creams? They've completely thrown that playbook out the window.

Walking into a NIC parlour feels like stepping into a flavor haven where someone decided to turn every beloved Indian dessert into ice cream. And thank goodness they did, because the results are absolutely mind-blowing.

These five unique ice cream flavors have built quite a following among ice cream enthusiasts. Once you try these, regular ice cream will feel like a major downgrade.

Gajar Halwa Ice Cream: Your Childhood, But Frozen

Remember sneaking extra servings of Gajar halwa during winter festivals? This Gajar halwa ice cream captures that exact moment, the warmth, the spices, the pure comfort food bliss - except now it's perfectly frozen.

They've somehow managed to pack real carrot pieces and traditional spices into every scoop. You get that familiar cardamom hit, the sweetness that made you love gajar halwa in the first place, plus little chunks that remind you this isn't just flavored ice cream – it's the real deal, reimagined.

The best part? You can have this winter dessert in the middle of summer without breaking a sweat.

2. Jackfruit Ice Cream: The Conversation Starter

Jackfruit ice cream sounds weird at first. Most people think it's an odd choice when they see it on the menu. But here's the thing: jackfruit has this incredible candy-like sweetness that works perfectly in ice cream form.

The first bite is always a surprise. You're expecting something strange, but instead you get nice chewy chunks of real jackfruit and this tropical flavor that's almost fruity-vanilla-ish, if that makes sense. It's creamy, it's sweet, and it tastes like summer vacation should taste.

Plus, it's only available during jackfruit season, which makes it feel special. When you see it on the menu, grab it, because you'll be waiting months for another chance.

3. Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream: The Ultimate Comfort Combo

Here's something that sounds almost too good to be true: Strawberry cheesecake ice cream that actually tastes like you're eating real cheesecake. Most places just throw some strawberry flavoring into vanilla ice cream and call it a day, but NIC has completely nailed this combination.

The magic happens with real cream cheese creating that signature tangy richness that makes cheesecake so addictive. Then they layer in fresh, juicy strawberry pieces that burst with authentic sweetness in every bite. It's like having your favorite bakery cheesecake, except it's perfectly frozen and scoopable. No baking, no waiting, just pure creamy satisfaction that hits exactly like the dessert you're craving.

4. Gulab Jamun Ice Cream: Maximum Sweetness Achievement Unlocked

If you're someone who believes there's no such thing as "too sweet," then Gulab Jamun Ice cream was made for you. This isn't just gulab jamun-flavored ice cream – they actually put pieces of real gulab jamun inside.

Every spoonful is an adventure. Sometimes you get pure ice cream, sometimes you hit a chunk of syrup-soaked gulab jamun that explodes with flavor. The rose water and cardamom are all there, perfectly balanced with the creamy base.

Is it intense? Absolutely. Is it worth the sugar rush? Every single time.

5. Kesar Pista Ice Cream: The Royal Treatment

Kesar pista ice cream is what happens when someone decides to make ice cream fit for royalty. The saffron gives it this gorgeous golden color and delicate flavor that you can smell before you even taste it. And the pistachios? They're everywhere; not just tiny pieces, but generous chunks that add this amazing crunch.

This is the kind of special ice cream that makes you slow down and actually savor each bite. The saffron creates this floral note that's subtle but distinct, while the pistachios bring richness and texture. It's fancy without being pretentious.

What Makes These Flavors Actually Special

Here's what makes these unique ice cream flavors so special: NIC doesn't mess around with the fake stuff. We’re talking real Alphonso mango pieces, actual gajar halwa, rich nolen gur, and the finest single-origin chocolate - no shortcuts. When you taste these NIC Ice Cream flavors, you’re tasting the real thing, just in a frozen, scoopable form.

Most ice cream companies would just add some artificial flavoring and call it a day. But NIC actually sources the real ingredients - the same ones your grandmother would use to make these desserts at home. That's why these flavors taste so incredibly authentic.

Time to Upgrade Your Ice Cream Game

Look, life's too short for boring ice cream. These five special ice cream options prove that ice cream can be an experience, not just a dessert. Whether you're feeling nostalgic for gajar halwa or curious about what jackfruit tastes like frozen, each of these unique ice cream flavors offers something you won't find anywhere else.

You can track down these flavors at NIC parlours nationwide, or get them delivered through Swiggy, Zomato, or Zepto. Some are seasonal, so when you spot them available, don't think twice – just order.

Which one are you trying first? The gulab jamun is particularly hard to resist.
