A celebration of South Asian flavors by Pooja Bavishi, the founder of acclaimed Malai.

In 2015, Malai, a Brooklyn-based ice cream shop was founded by Pooja Bavishi. Tapping into her first-generation Indian American upbringing, Bavishi revolutionized ice cream by incorporating robust South Asian spices and ingredients in their flavors. From opening scoop shops in NY and DC, to shipping their beloved flavors nationwide, Malai continued to leave its mark. Now, 10 years later, readers can bring a taste of Malai into their home kitchens. In Bavishi’s debut cookbook, readers are taken through an innovative and mouthwatering collection of ice cream and frozen desserts inspired by South Asian flavors.


Malai: Frozen Desserts Inspired by South Asian Flavors, features 100 delightful recipes that will transform your desserts into sweet, spiced, and flavorful frozen treats. Each recipe highlights Malai’s signature repertoire: cardamom, rose, ginger, jaggery, mango, chai, lychee, fennel, and saffron.
Bavishi highlights many of Malai’s beloved recipes, along with exciting new ones, including:
● Rose with Cinnamon Roasted Almonds Ice Cream
● Nimbu Pani Sorbet
● Coffee Cardamom Ice Cream
● Fried Ice Cream Pie
● Orange Fennel French Toast
● Coconut Saffron Kulfi Pops
● And many more!


With stunning photography, personal stories, and easy to follow instructions for all culinary levels, Malai: Frozen Desserts Inspired by South Asian Flavors is a one-of-a-kind cookbook that demonstrates how mainstream South-Asian ingredients are and how accessible they can be in everyday desserts.
