A new artisanal ice cream shop is bringing authentic Indian flavors to Frisco. Called Kesar Creamery<\/a> \u2014 after the Hindi word for “saffron” \u2014 the shop has scooped up a spot at 12025 E. University Dr., Suite 200, Frisco.<\/p>\n

Kesar is owned by entrepreneur Jay Patel and occupies the former space of a Clean Juice bar he previously operated.<\/p>\n

Patel, an electrical engineer who moved to Dallas from India in 2008, grew up in a family that operated various chain ice cream franchise stores. His heart was in creating something more personal, he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to come up with flavors that are traditional to Indian desserts and bring a unique new aspect to ice cream,\u201d Patel says.<\/p>\n

While the menu includes crowd-pleasing classics like chocolate, cookies and cream, and vanilla, the stars of the shop are the authentic flavor profiles drawn from Patel\u2019s heritage. Top favorites among customers include:<\/p>\n

Dubai Chocolate: Ethically sourced chocolate topped with crunchy shredded phyllo dough (kadaifi) and premium pistachios.Gulab Jamun: A creamy base with pieces of traditional dough balls soaked in a saffron-infused syrup.Saffron Pistachio: Made with real saffron and whole pistachios, blended into a silky, fragrant treat.Hot Guava: A vibrant, fruity scoop topped with a signature dusting of chile powder and lime salt.Lotus Biscoff: A caramelized blend of Biscoff cookie butter and crushed cookies.<\/p>\n

Scoops start at $5, with pints available for $12.<\/p>\n

Beyond the scoops, the shop offers an assortment of kulfi sticks, a dense, creamy dessert of Persian-Indian origin. They’re available in varieties such as rabri (a rich, condensed milk flavor similar to dulce de leche), cardamom, mango, and malai (traditional sweet cream).<\/p>\n

The menu also features a popular Indian adaptation of the Italian Cassata, with layers of mango, vanilla, and chocolate ice cream on a thin cake base topped with tutti-frutti. <\/p>\n

Another popular offering is falooda, a parfait-like dessert with ice cream layered with basil seeds for a cooling effect, vermicelli noodles and a scoop of pistachio, mango boba or rose-flavored milk. It’s said to be a refreshing option in the summer in India. <\/p>\n

The 1,200-square-foot shop offers intimate indoor seating for 12, along with outdoor tables and a large display bar showcasing the ice cream flavors. Since opening in January, Kesar Creamery has become a destination for more than just Frisco locals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe turnout has been great; weekends and evenings have been packed,\u201d Patel says. \u201cWe\u2019ve had visitors from all over Texas and even as far as Arkansas and Seattle.\u201d<\/p>\n

To meet an out-of-state demand, he says, the shop is planning to launch nationwide delivery in the coming months.<\/p>\n

Kesar Creamery is open Monday to Thursday from 12-8 pm, and Friday through Sunday from 12-10 pm, with plans to extend hours during the summer season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new artisanal ice cream shop is bringing authentic Indian flavors to Frisco.
