Craves For These 10 Desserts In Bangalore

Bangaloreans! If you have a huge sweet tooth, or might we say tusk, this lockdown might be increasing your dessert cravings day by day. You might have already made a mental note of the bakeries, ice cream parlours and dessert outlets you’d want to visit the minute this lockdown is removed. While there are few bakeries delivering your favourite desserts, there might be many more places which you can’t visit as of now.  But hey! You’re not alone. While we’re busy baking banana bread and whipping Dalgona Coffee, let’s take a walk down the cravings lane, shall we?

1. Death By Chocolate From Corner House Ice Cream, Multiple Outlets

If there was an award for the best chocolate sauce in the world, Corner House would undoubtedly get it. The ice cream parlour operating since 1985 is Bangalore’s ultimate hub to grab the best desserts. The queen of all desserts here is Death By Chocolate (DBC). It’s a decadent combination of vanilla ice cream and on spongy chocolate cake, topped with cream, signature fudge sauce and peanuts. This is a sinfully chocolatey dessert!

2. Banana Pudding From Magnolia Bakery, Indiranagar

New York’s 23-year-old, Magnolia Bakery opened its first outlet in India, Bangalore. And ever since, the bakery witnesses serpentine queues of people standing all the way outside the store, waiting to grab a bite of their delicious cupcakes and other creamy desserts. But during this lockdown, their signature Banana Pudding is definitely on our minds. Layered with vanilla wafers, fresh bananas and whipped cream this dessert is truly heavenly. It’s cold, sweet, mushy and just envelopes around your tastebuds like a warm embrace.

3. Cotton Candy Burrito From Candy Cloud Factory, Koramangala

Fo all those ‘Buddhi Ke Baal’ fans, the Cotton Candy Burrito at the Candy Cloud Factory is just like old wine in a new delicious avatar. Visiting this place is an experience by itself. We miss hanging out with our gang here, clicking those cute Instagram pictures and gorging fluffy Cotton Candy Burrito, loaded with marshmallows and ice cream.

4. Honey Cake At Iyengar’s Bakery, Multiple Outlets

Iyengar’s Bakery is pure nostalgia for any Bangalorean. They are the inventors of the coconutty, spongy honey cake, which is loved by generations. The spongy vanilla, honey flavoured cake, topped with jam and desiccated coconut is just the perfect dessert to complement the chilly, pleasant weather of Bangalore.

5. Coca Mocha Hungarian Chimney Cake From Kurtoskalacs, Multiple Outlets

One of the most unique desserts in Bangalore, the Hungarian chimney cakes from Kurtoskalacs is just what we are craving for during this lockdown season. The dessert made from sweet, yeast dough, wrapped around a cone-shaped baking spit and roasted over charcoal, is unique and sumptuous. I’m sure the coffee lovers in the city would be missing their Coca Mocha Hungarian Chimney Cake. It has a lovely taste of bitterness from the coffee sauce, sweetness from the cocoa cake and nuttiness from walnuts. It’s the perfect chocolate coffee dessert combination.

6. Banoffee Pie From Dyu Art Cafe, Koramangala

Touted to be one of the best desserts of Bangalore, Dyu Art Cafe’s Banoffee Pie screams nostalgia. Over the years this dessert has remained top-notch in quality and taste. Just sitting in the alfresco cafe and having a mouthful of this is happiness on a whole new level. Prepared with slices of banana, layered with homemade toffee, topped with fresh cream, this dessert is light and has just the right amount of freshness and sweetness. We at Curly Tales are wholeheartedly craving for our sweet dose of happiness from Dyu Art Cafe.

7. Baklava Dondurma From The Marash, Koramangala

Dining should not be just an eat and go experience, it should encompass fun, frolic and lots of memories. Well, that’s exactly what we feel when we visit The Marash in Koramangala. This ice cream parlour is one of the only places in Bangalore serving Dondurama. This is a Turkish ice cream made with whipping cream, sugar, salep and mastic. One of the must-try desserts in The Marash is the Baklava Dondurama. You can gorge on crispy, flaky traditional Arabic pastry topped with the Dondurama ice cream. Apart from the dessert itself, we’re missing the fun experience of the server paying tricks on us while he serves us the ice cream.

8. Filter Coffee Cheesecake From Bob’s Bar, Multiple Outlets

Delicious food, refreshing drinks, great vibes all at a pocket-friendly experience. Bob’s Bar is a weekend adda for most of us Bangaloreans. While most of you’ll are missing the chilled beer and Bombat Ghee Roast here, we’re craving for their signature dessert. The Filter Coffee Cheesecake has been our favourite ever since we first tried it here. The creamy cheesecake topped on rose cookie crust, filled with coffee filling makes our mouth water, and how.

9. Rum Chocolate Fondant At SodaBottleOpenerWala, Lavelle Road

Liquor and dessert is the best crossover ever. And once you try the Rum Chocolate Fondant at SodaBottleOpenerWala, you’ll know why. We love the boozy chocolatey taste of this dessert and this is exactly what we’re craving for to help us get through this lockdown. It’s a great dessert to have with your gang, as a gooey chocolate fondant is topped with oodles of rum and set ablaze in front of you. That’s a different level of high!

One of the desserts we’re craving for the most is the Berry Trap Pancake at Let’s Souffle. The soft fluffy, jiggly Japanese souffle pancake, drizzles with Creme Anglaise Sauce, sandwiched with cream cheese filling and topped with berries is the perfect blend of sweet and sour. It’s also one of the most unique and exotic desserts in Bangalore, which makes us crave for it all the more.
