Ice cream lovers visiting Connaught Place in Delhi now have more than just the regular sugar-loaded scoop to pick from. Zimero Artisan Ice Cream, a store located in CP, has added no added sugar, 100% jaggery and vegan (non-dairy) ice creams to its menu alongside the traditional range, giving people who want to cut back on sugar a proper dessert option.
What's in the no added sugar range
The no added sugar category includes flavours such as Kesar Pista Almond, Choco Hazelnut, Mocha Almond, Vanilla and Filter Coffee. So anyone who prefers the classic taste profiles still has plenty to choose from, the only difference being that no extra sugar goes into these tubs.
Jaggery and vegan options on the menu
For those looking to avoid sugar altogether, the store also offers 100% jaggery ice cream with 0% sugar, available in two flavours, Jaggs n Crunch and Nutty Jaggs. There's a vegan option too for people who don't eat dairy products, with flavours like Mango, Filter Coffee and Triple Berry.
Made with fresh milk, cream and natural ingredients
Store owner Sumant said fresh milk and cream are used to make the ice creams. Natural ingredients are also used to bring out flavour in several varieties. No extra sugar is added in the no added sugar range, while the jaggery ice cream replaces refined sugar with jaggery, which changes both the taste and the source of sweetness.
How much each scoop and tub costs
On pricing, a scoop of the 100% jaggery ice cream costs Rs 140, while a 500 ml tub is priced at Rs 450. The no added sugar ice cream is slightly pricier, with a scoop costing Rs 150 and a 500 ml tub going for Rs 465. A scoop of vegan ice cream also costs Rs 150, and choosing a waffle cone adds Rs 20 to the bill.
So the next time a trip to Connaught Place is on the cards, it's worth trying the no added sugar, jaggery or vegan ice creams instead of sticking to the regular flavours. The store has a wide range of flavours and options, with prices starting at Rs 140 per scoop.
