1 of 5
It is time to move over ordinary rosogollas, sandesh and misti doi and instead relish the new variants like chocolate rosogollas, strawberry sandesh and blueberry misti doi!
Kolkata is no less than a paradise for dessert lovers! There is one mistir dokan at every nook and corner of the winding alleys and each can boast of a jaw-dropping dessert collection. While the popular, age-old sweets like rosogolla and sandesh are still a household favourite, the youth prefer to sink into the fusion flavours of modern-day recipes that blend the traditional and contemporary cooking methods. If you wish to try something more experimental in the magical world of yummilicious desserts, then these 5 well-known sweet shops will do the trick!

The summer season is somewhat tolerable because of the juicy mangoes that we can feast on! Mangoes are found in abundance in Kolkata and there is hardly any Bong who is not fond of the famous himsagar aam. Cultivating this passion for the delectable fruit, many sweet shops in Kolkata are churning out mango-based sweets out of which Aam Sandesh takes the cake.

Anyone who is into health-conscious eating these days will know about the countless health benefits of blueberries.

We wonder if this dessert could be regarded as a healthier version of misti doi, what say?
