Heatwave-like conditions in the city called for an ice-cream break in this newsroom last week. On the menu were two unique limited-time creations from a collaboration between Bombay Sweet Shop and Naturals. Two tubs arrived neatly packed with ice packs to keep things cool - ready to be tucked into, and reviewed by The Guide Team.

The first in the Original Twist series is the familiar tender coconut ice cream, with a spicy guest appearance by real Naga chilli flakes.
>> The chilli flakes add a slow fiery kick that doesn't hold back from cutting through the creamy coconut base.
>> Mumbai's rising temperatures had us going ânuts' for the sweet, soft, and refreshing tender
coconut pulp.
>> The aftertaste packs a gentle heat that lingers on your palate till your next bite. We were on the fence about this hot affair.
Verdict: This experiment has our thumbs up. Is the heat from the chillies too strong to be enjoyed on a hot day? We don't think so.
The more familiar coffee flavour meets pieces of chocolate fudge and nuts in this decadent experiment that had us going for seconds.
>> The coffee-first flavour profile sets it apart from other sugary, milkier variations we've tried before.
>> We would've loved more of the crunchy almond brittles that add a surprise element to every bite
>> Crumbs of gooey chocolate fudge were a quick hit with our in-house sweet addict.
Verdict: If you like your coffee strong, this one's right up your alley. But with 262 calories in a 100g serving, you're better off not substituting it for your cuppa Joe.
