Natural Taste of Unique Flavours : Nutty Squirrel Ice Creams, VR Mall

SUMMER... It's getting more harsher everyday in Namma Bengaluru. Sweaty afternoons, dehydration and hot atmosphere certainly influencing the appetite. This summer made many people to change their food preferences like having just salads, coolers, mocktails and I have seen many foodies who has become temporary vegetarians. Whatever the preferences of food might be, ice cream takes the top position as a summer food. Nothing can cool your summer appetite like an ice cream!

Obviously, summer provides a good market to ice cream industry. It's a top season where you can witness new flavour launches, ice creams based culinary experiments and of course new ice cream brands!

This summer Nutty Squirrel is all set to root itself strongly in the Bengaluru!
It's a kiosk kind of  shop located on the ground floor of newly opened VR mall, Whitefield. This outlet definitely catches everyone's eyes due to its "squirrel in the city" theme painting and it's unique logo. There is nothing much to be discussed about ambiance as it offers grab n move service.

NUTTY SQUIRREL: So, what's special about Nutty Squirrel!!? The unique thing which separates Nutty Squirrel from other brands is its raw flavour! Yes, when you taste their ice cream for the first time you might not feel any flavour or sweetness, but once you have 2-3 spoons you start realizing true flavour. Peculiarly sweetness is very less in all flavours compared to any other international brands ice cream... But, you will realize it soon that how this new taste could be fun.

ICE CREAM & FLAVOURS: There may be various brands which serves various kinds of Ice Creams, but brands like Nutty Squirrel are making a huge difference by offering fresh ice cream. Some of their ice cream flavours are so unique that you can't stop yourself by buying more than 2 scoops! Some of the flavours are:
Pudina : A clear winner among all flavours! The mint flavour with a mild sweetness was definitely worth an appreciation. It tasted so natural and made me to forget my afternoon effort to reach this place.


Chikko & Cheddar : I must say it was an amazing flavour! It felt like I'm having real chikko, they have managed to pull the natural sweetness of chikko fruit in to this ice cream!
Filter Coffee : I'm sure this will turn out as every south Indian favourite. Who doesn't love the privilege of  having filter coffee in the form of Ice Cream during hot summer! I've tasted many coffee flavoured ice creams before, but Nutty Squirrel stands apart and above all.


Salted PistaChio: If you are expecting regular Pista flavour, get ready to have a surprise! It comes with a salty twist. The taste is wacky and sinful! Its kind of nice, but being a hardcore Pista flavourist I didn't like this flavour as much as I liked others.
Peanut Butter: My god! it was too buttery and sweet, you just can't finish one whole scoop of this ice cream by yourself.
Caramel, Maple Walnut, Strawberry, Blueberry & Dark Chocolate were some other flavours which I tried. Every flavour appeared like they are competing with each other to be the best!  

TRY IT AS YOU LIKE IT: Yes! You can enjoy ice cream as a sandwich placed in between freshly baked "Mocha Cookies", "Snicker Doodles" which comes in various sizes and designs like star, heart & circles.
Or you can seek for a traditional scoop serve on a dark chocolate cone which is also freshly baked in the store.
Or ice cream fills in brandy snap taco wrap also tastes as delicious as others! It's bit hard to eat ice cream with taco as it seems hard and also ice cream spills from another end while trying to bite one end. But, once the taco layer becomes soft blending with ice cream, it tastes heavenly.
Or you can try just a scoop in a bowl if you are not such fancy lover.





MILKSHAKES: Honestly we just assumed that the milkshakes will not be so much different than Ice Creams which we tried before, but we were completely wrong. Their milkshakes were so thick that it needs a special thick straw to gulp it! It appeared like mocktail of ice creams, they created wonder by mixing right proportion of different ice cream. You can also customize it with your favourite flavours. After having small portions of 2-3 milkshakes I was full!





EVERYTHING ELSE: Service is very humble, you can depend on their suggestions. They have maintained hygiene very well. If they place a dust bin near the counter, it can help more in maintaining cleanliness around the kiosk. Pricing seems bit high, but natural flavours justify that.
They are also coming up with new flavours like green chilly. I'm desperate to try that very soon!

FINAL VERDICT: First time ever in my life time I had only Ice Creams & milkshakes for my lunch! When such fantastic flavours are lined up, why not! Just drop there and try yourself.
