Important notes:

1. The comparison and ranking have been done on the assumption that there is no mislabelling.

2. This analysis has been done using Gemini based on ingridient and nutrional value as listed on the ice creams (as shown on Blinkit)

3. I have attached images of ice creams I have analysed.

4. Standardized quantity of 100 grams has been used for analysis.

5. EDITED: I forgot to include naturals chocolate icecream in the list, please consider that at rank 1. (CLEANEST INGRIDIENTS)

I analyzed 16 Indian Chocolate Ice Creams. These are the winners and losers.

💀 Worst Ingredients: Huber & Holly Belgian Chocolate & Brownie

Why: Packed with palm kernel oil, modified starches, artificial flavoring, chemical emulsifiers.

🚫 Worst Nutrition: Mother Dairy Choco Brownie (Standard Tub) (Edited: By mistake, I wrote Amul brownie before)

Why: 22.6g added sugar per 100g + palm oil + trans-fat-heavy brownie mix-ins.

i have been seeing huber & holly all over my feed so gave in to the hype and got it for 258 in zepto. 100/10. tastes exactly like chilled smooth gooey brownie. the texture is sooo silky omgggg i love it😭

I liked giani Belgian chocolate tub something similar or better

Rank 1 - Vadilal. Tastes so yum exactly what I wanted amazing. That grain like bits adds nice texture and chocolatey goodness. Love it

Rank 2 - BR. This one would have been Rank 1 if I hadn’t try the Vadilal. This one is equally yummy but Vadilal is better in my opinion

Rank 3 - NIC. It’s good but I am not a fan of such dense chocolate. It felts more like melted chocolate than ice cream.

Thanks sub you are amazing !!

finally broke up with my toxic girlfriend so i celebrated by making tiramisu from scratch 🗿

now i’m about to sit here and eat this entire thing by myself 😋

crazy how every future L she takes now includes missing out on homemade tiramisu and other good food. tragic honestly

I am the girl who posted few days back raving about the Guava Chili flavour from this brand, so ordered few more. Gotta say was not a good experience this time. There are far better and cheaper options in the market guys. I guess only few flavours would work.

Onto finding the next good brand ✌️

Sorry if the pic is not very aesthetic. khaane ke beech me photo leli 😝

Was good but i would prefer kitkat krunchy over it anyday

Looking for options that taste great after soaking in milk. Thanks!

Ab toh milti hi nhi h ye..🥲

Got this at Rs 200 only today.. bought 10 qty

​

I want some healthy snack options. Most of the healthy snacks (those i know of) are not yummy. I want sth that helps w cravings+ has low to no preservative.

Same as title
