Creating great food isn't just about following a recipe. Sometimes it's about chasing an idea for years until every ingredient, every texture and every spoonful feels exactly right. Our new Jus'Trufs Plant-Based Chocolate Ice Cream has been years in the making. Where the Journey Began Growing up, I watched my mother create incredible meals whenever guests visited our home. She loved experimenting in the kitchen, and every meal felt like a celebration. Interestingly, ice cream was never one of the desserts she made. Even while studying confectionery, bakery, hotel management and food technology, ice cream somehow remained the one subject I never truly explored. Then life had another plan. I married someone whose greatest culinary passion is ice cream. On our very first trip to Italy, he enthusiastically sampled gelato after gelato, inspiring me to dream of creating an exceptional chocolate ice cream of my own someday. From Chocolate to Ice Cream As a chocolatier, chocolate was always going to be the heart of the recipe.For years we've handcrafted our own artisanal chocolate using cocoa beans sourced from farmers in South India. One of our most loved caf desserts, Dark Decadence, became proof that our guests appreciated rich, intense chocolate experiences. But I wanted to take that same philosophy into a completely different producta luxurious plant-based chocolate ice cream. The First Experiments Our very first trials happened just before the COVID pandemic using a friend's gelato machine. That experimental batch stayed in our home freezer and unexpectedly became one of our family's little comforts during lockdown. Every summer afterwards I promised myself that I would return to perfecting the recipe. Yet every year, Bangalore's rainy season arrived and our famous hot chocolate once again became the star of the caf. Until 2026. Learning the Science This summer, I decided it was finally time.I enrolled in two specialised online ice cream coursesone focused on plant-based ice cream and another covering dairy ice creamto understand the science behind texture, stability and flavour.While online learning provided an excellent foundation, creating truly exceptional ice cream only happens through hands-on experimentation. Eleven Versions Later Our goal was clear:Create a rich, creamy chocolate ice cream using our own 72% dark artisanal chocolate, naturally sweetened with jaggery and completely plant-based. The challenge wasn't simply making dairy-free ice cream. The challenge was making an ice cream so creamy and satisfying that people wouldn't even realise it was plant-based. Version after version, we refined the recipe. Ingredients changed. Ratios shifted. Different coconut milks and coconut creams were tested before finally sourcing the ones that gave us the flavour and texture we wanted. Every batch taught us something new. Our chefs and regular guests patiently tasted every experiment, knowing that we wouldn't stop until everything was just right. Finally, after eleven versions, we had our answer. Made with Real Ingredients Our artisanal plant-based chocolate ice cream is crafted using: Our own 72% dark artisanal chocolate Cocoa beans sourced from South Indian farmers Jaggery instead of refined sugar Carefully selected premium coconut milk and coconut cream No dairy The result is a deeply chocolatey ice cream with remarkable richness, smoothness and complexity.
