Kulfi
Kulfi is India’s version of traditional ice cream. Made by slow-cooking milk until it thickens, this creamy dessert is flavoured with cardamom, saffron, pistachios, and almonds. Unlike its softer cousin, ice cream, kulfi has a denser texture and takes longer to melt – meaning more time to savour each bite. Some food bloggers describe it as a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth, and it is widely considered one of the most authentic desserts to enjoy in Jaipur.

Rabdi Malpoa
A dessert that takes indulgence to a new level. It consists of deep-fried, crispy pancakes soaked in sugar syrup, topped with thick, creamy rabdi made from condensed milk. It's rich, sweet, and often garnished with chopped pistachios or almonds. Food critics and bloggers usually rave about this treat as a must-try in Jaipur, citing its unique combination of crunchy and creamy textures.

Gulab Sakri
Can best be described as a mix between a pudding and fudge, made with thickened milk, sugar, and a generous touch of rosewater. The name Gulab hints at its floral essence, as sakri refers to its solid consistency. It's mildly sweet and carries the refreshing aroma of roses, making it a delicacy in Rajasthan. It may not be as famous as kulfi or rabdi malpoa, but those who have tried it often find it a hidden gem in Jaipur’s sweet offerings.
