Malai

Malai, figuratively meaning “cream of the crop,” in a North Indian language, is an ice cream company that draws inspiration from globally-sourced whole ingredients, aromatic spices and unexpected twists on classics. The super-premium ice cream is handcrafted, eggless, and churned with very little air, resulting in purer, more robust flavors, as well as the lightest, creamiest textures you can find. Malai’s ice cream is available at their Brooklyn flagship scoop shop, Manhattan outpost in Pier 57, for nationwide shipping via Goldbelly, and in grocery stores in the Northeast, including Whole Foods.
