With temperatures soaring to close to 40 degrees, it is time to indulge in ice creams. Wait.

There is no need to step out for them. They can be delivered at your door step. India's first ice cream buggy, started by Dubai-based entrepreneur Rohit Rao zooms across close to 20 Indian cities, bringing much needed relief in this searing heat.

The cute chocolate brown vans, with a large ice cream cone on top, and sunny yellow nanos have a range of ice creams to choose from. They are often spotted at Bagmane Tech Park, CV Raman Nagar and HSR Layout.

We got a bite of their single scoops and sundaes, recently. It was fun to see adults being as excited as children when the ice cream van swerved in.

Once the stall was set up, everyone crowded around to choose from the menu displayed. There are a variety of flavours, from butterscotch, vanilla and chocolate to banana caramel choco chip, chocolate choco chip, mango chocolate, Irish coffee, dry fruit and fresh lychee. Add to that are wide-ranging sauces: chocolate, caramel, lychee and strawberry.

Then there are add ons like cashew nuts, chocolate and coloured sprinkles.

Their sundaes are the most sought after. The popular ones are lychee love, fruit paradise, which includes dry fruit delight ice cream with caramel sauce. Then there is forest fire—the combination of black forest pastry and vanilla ice cream, topped with hot chocolate sauce and nuts.

The menu doesn’t end with sundaes. There are ice cream pastry cakes, ice cream sandwiches, pizzas, and floats.

The prices range from Rs. 40 to Rs. 90, not bad if you want to grab a quick bite of these frozen treats. So the next time you want to complain about getting to work on a hot, hot day, remember the ice cream buggy is just a call away.
