Pune's Amaary Artifrost Redefines Ice Cream
Aarya Nagarkatti started a small ice cream shop in Pune called Amaary Artifrost.
He makes special ice cream flavors using only natural, local ingredients.
Some of his unique flavors include buttermilk-peach, jamun sorbet, and plum rum caramel.
He also makes ice cream for people who can't eat regular ice cream, like vegan or sugar-free options.
His shop is small, and he makes ice cream in small batches to keep it fresh.
People love his ice cream so much that 90% of his customers come back.
He's even working on new flavors with alcohol that will be ready next year.
Amaary Artifrost, founded by Aarya Nagarkatti, creates unique, handcrafted ice cream flavors using 100% organic, locally sourced ingredients.
The menu features unconventional flavors like buttermilk-peach, jamun sorbet, and plum rum caramel, with seasonal options like basundi ice cream.
The signature buttermilk-peach flavor took three months to develop, balancing sweetness and tanginess without compromising either component.
The shop offers custom orders for dietary needs, including vegan, dairy-free, lactose-intolerant, and sugar-free options, using alternatives like monk fruit and stevia.
Amaary Artifrost operates as a cloud kitchen with a limited-access outlet in Koregaon Park Annexe, focusing on limited batch production to maintain freshness and quality.
