SUPERB!

Summary

No ice crystals and a creamy richness- the texture of Amul Rajbhog ice cream was remarkable. Taste-wise, this did hold the characteristic milky Rajbhog flavor, but the aromatic spices (cardamom and saffron) were too subtle.

While nothing beats the classics, there are days when the plain ol’ vanilla or chocolate wouldn’t make the cut. Something more premium? Nutty even?

Amul, one of India’s leading dairy brands, offers an exciting Bengali-inspired flavor. Our Amul Rajbhog ice cream review sheds light on all parameters that impact the buying decision. 

How well does it capture the rich, royal flavor?

*Based on Mishry's internal reviews and ratings

Our review process started by scanning the ingredient list, gauging the texture, commencing the taste test, all while collecting data and recording our observations.

1. Taste

‘Rajbhog’ is a Bengali dessert prepared with cottage cheese that is characterized by rich flavors of aromatic spices like saffron and cardamom. Did Amul’s ice cream feature this?

What about the sweetness, balanced or overpowering? 

This contains nuts too. Are they fresh or have they gone bad?

2. Texture

Smooth, creamy, soft but scoopable- this is the texture we were looking for. What we didn’t want were ice crystals at the surface or between bites.

What did we get?

3. Main Ingredients

The common ingredients required for preparing ice cream are milk, sugar, and milk products like milk powder/whey powder. 

The primary difference between ice creams and frozen desserts is the use of vegetable oil. The former should NOT contain this or any form of it.

Amul Rajbhog Ice Cream – Detailed Review

After scanning the ingredient list, we were delighted to find Amul does not use any form of vegetable fat which makes this an ice cream in the true sense! The main ingredients used are milk solids, cashew pieces (7%), almond pieces (3.5%), honey, saffron, permitted emulsifier (E471), and stabilizers (E407, E466, E415, E412, E435). It also uses permitted synthetic food color and added flavors (cardamom, honey, and saffron).

The ice cream is offered in a plastic container which is secured with a tightly sealed lid. 

We saw no ice crystals, as we opened the lid. Thumbs up! The primary color is dominated by saffron and we could see bits of almonds and cashews. Moreover, there were some crushed saffron strands too.

Creamy and nutty.

Super creamy. The texture of this Amul ice cream is rich, milky, and oh-so-creamy. The crushed nut bits add a bite which is just a subtle, moist crunch.

Taste, just like the texture was milky. The sweetness was apt. There were no rancid/stale flavors from the nuts, they were fresh. 

The Rajbhog flavor is characterized by desirable flavors of saffron, cardamom, and milk- all sweetened. It is typically loaded with nuts and has a rich creaminess. 

The characteristic milky Rajbhog flavor shines through in this ice cream. Additionally, the distinct sweetness of honey was mildly tasted. That said, the flavors of these aromatic spices were subtly present in this ice cream.
