A SWEATING ice cream counter is one of our pet peeves. It makes the ice cream inside look distressed and rightfully so, as an inappropriate temperature can affect its texture and overall mouth feel of the serve. When we made the trip to Out Of the Blue at Le Sutra, Bandra, to try ice creams and chocolates at their latest addition The Blue Gourmet, we encountered a similar sight. Perhaps, it is time to call that service number.
On trying, most of them had icicles, and were of a watery texture. With 11 flavours on the menu, the ice creams are available in two packaging sizes—125 ml and 500 ml apart from scoops. We try them as tasting spoons. There’s organic Bailey’s, a single origin chocolate with roasted almonds, and even a strawberry balsamic that gets our nod. Two favourites are chocolate ice cream with organic zest, and the Kashmiri rose berry ice cream, which is made using almond milk and is thus, vegan.
