Today’s guest is entrepreneur and ice cream queen Pooja Bavishi of Malai Ice Cream, which has locations in New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. She’s also the author of the book “Malai: Frozen Desserts Inspired by South Asian Flavors.” 

For this special re-air episode, Pooja joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about her chai-inspired “hybrid identity,” her passion for experimenting with unconventional flavor pairings, and the ginger and star anise ice creams that sparked the inspiration to create Malai. Then, the duo dive into her recipe for Malai Drumsticks from her book, which incorporates Spiced Peanut Crunch Ice Cream, Jaggery Cones, homemade Magic Shell, and Peanut Chikki.
