These 5 desserts ate and left no crumbs. See why India loves them

Pastries with a French accent, ice-creams with a Japan visa, rasgullas with Italian connections, viral cakes, local faves. India’s dessert revolution is here

Remember 2015? Ten years ago, India’s dessert scene was in its awkward-teen phase—dramatic, but still figuring itself out. Froyo pretended to be guilt-free; red-velvet was the main character; macarons were everywhere; cupcakes were in their frosting-stacked era. Did you order a freakshake? Get the lava cake after dinner? Crack the crust of a lemongrass crème brulée?

Bombay Sweet Shop’s Strawberry Rasmalai Tart is the East-West combo we didn’t know we needed.

Tres leches (rasmalai’s brother from a Latin-American mother) is ultra-creamy, light, and airy.

The genius of Theobroma’s Dense Chocolate Loaf lies in its simplicity.

Entremets, multi-layered French concoctions, are popping up everywhere in India.

Japanese mochi has been all the rage in India since its arrival in 2020.

Bombay Sweet Shop serves many fusion desserts, including their famous Coffee Rasgulla Tiramisu.
