Come summer and mango is the go-to fruit for all things dessert. The best part about this tropical treat is that it can be eaten whole or relished in different ways with cream, sticky rice or frozen as a lolly. However, in our love for the mango, we neglect other summer favourites that have been displaced of any honour as our devotion to all things aam continues. So, for a change we skipped the aam treats for something hatke, from coconut, jackfruit, tadgola, jambul to cucumber, we list down some not so aam desserts, available this time of the year.

A scoop of tender coconut

Burma Burma has a delicious tender coconut ice cream that they are serving with sweet glutinous black rice cooked with mandarin. Chef Ansab Khan, informs us that, “In Burma, there’s a dish which is made of chilled coconut milk with rice. We took inspiration from there and came up with this delicious and offbeat dessert.”
COST: Rs 300, plus taxes
AT: Burma Burma, Fort   

A melon sandwiched ice cream

Over the years, K Rustom’s Ice Cream has been the beacon of hope when it comes to both experimenting and dishing out interesting flavours. While their paan-flavoured ice cream is an all-time hit, during summer mango rules, but if you are looking for something a little different, there’s always the goodness of musk melon that you can enjoy as a scoop, in a cup or a cone or go all out with their ice cream wafer sandwich.
COST: Rs 70
AT: K Rustom’s Ice Cream, Churchgate

Zero sugar Jambul ice cream

Summer can be cruel to those suffering from diabetes. However, keeping this in mind SoBo’s Frosty ice cream parlour at Forjett street in Tardeo has prepared a jambul/jamun flavoured ice cream that has no sugar. The purple flavoured fruit is known to be a healthy alternative for diabetics who are advised fruits in moderation.
COST: Rs 350 for 600 ml pack
AT: Frosty Ice cream, Tardeo

The goodness of jackfruit in a cup

It’s got a strong flavour that’s hard to mask, so many people get put off by it, even without having a bite. If you are one of those, who can’t bring yourself to having it raw, we recommend you go with a scoop of Natural’s jackfruit flavoured ice cream instead. It’s as close as you will get to the real thing without it’s overpowering scent and taste. For the adventurous, there’s Friday Fun, that sees another interesting offering — a cucumber flavoured ice cream is perfect for the summer.
COST: Rs 55 for a small scoop
AT: Natural Ice cream outlets.

Guava delight with some chilly and salt

It’s nostaliga in a cup or a cone, whichever way you choose to go. Apsara Ice Creams does a fabulous job of delivering an ice cream that’s so good, just one scoop is not enough. The best part — it’s like eating a slice of guava, and there’s extra salt and chilli powder at hand just in case you need it. We bet you will. This one will leave your tastebuds singing. There’s also a tadgola ice cream flavour for those inclined, though the former beats it hands down in terms of flavour.
COST: Rs 60 for a small scoop
AT: Apsara Ice Cream outlets in the city

Tender Coconut Panna Cotta

A luscious tender coconut panna cotta topped with fruit compote and mint. Coconut and mint two summer favourites come together in this refreshingly light dessert that’s perfect for summer.
COST: Rs 180
AT: Hitchki, Kala Ghoda, Fort
