Ice cream, but make it healthy
There’s an unspoken truth in the world of “guilt-free” desserts: they often taste more of compromise than pleasure. The texture can be brittle, the sweetness flat, the experience forgettable. But every now and then, a brand emerges that dares to challenge the notion that health must come at the expense of indulgence.
Indulge Creamery, a proudly Malaysian brand, is doing just that—redefining what it means to eat well without sacrifice. This is not your average protein-packed, low-calorie creation. It is ice cream with depth, integrity, and polish. With each spoonful, it becomes clear: the era of joyless “better-for-you” desserts is over. Healthy ice cream, it turns out, can be truly exquisite.
Built on Cravings, Not Compromises
Co-founded by Jennifer Lee (a self-proclaimed “snack obsessive”) and Don (a food-tech visionary), Indulge Creamery is what happens when someone with a finance brain and a foodie heart decides the world deserves better ice cream.
After being ghosted by their first consultant and nearly giving up, the pair doubled down—partnering with food scientists and a very committed Italian technical director to get things just right. The result? A range of ice creams that are low in sugar and calories, high in protein, and entirely free of weird aftertastes or sketchy additives.
Even better, there are Halal-certified and dairy-free options, so you don’t have to choose between your dietary needs and your dessert dreams.
The Flavour Test: Did It Pass?
As someone who has tried everything from raw avocado gelato in Bali to smoky affogatos in Tokyo, I went in with low expectations. But Indulge Creamery delivered—satisfying the tastebuds and cravings.
Here’s what stood out:
- Roasted Black Sesame: Deep, nutty, and layered like a good jazz solo. Think toasted umami, not dessert-as-afterthought.
- Cold Brew Coffee: Actual coffee lovers, rejoice. It’s got the richness of a café latte and zero trace of that bitter fake-coffee flavour some desserts try to pass off as “bold.”
- Matcha: Earthy, creamy, and not overly sweet—a flavour that respects the ingredient and doesn’t treat it like a trend.
- Mango Gelato with Coconut: (dairy-free): Bright, tropical, and genuinely refreshing. It tastes like fruit—because it is fruit.
Each scoop had a velvety mouthfeel that didn’t scream, “This is good for you.” It just felt… good.
Why It Matters
Indulge Creamery isn’t just responding to the market’s call for low-sugar, lactose-free options—they’re doing it with craft and care. This is dessert for people who read ingredient lists, track macros, or just want to eat something delicious without sabotaging their week.
They’ve nailed the formula: healthful, indulgent, and stylishly executed. And for a region facing rising rates of diabetes and food sensitivities, this brand couldn’t have come at a better time.
Final Scoop
The health ice cream game has had plenty of contenders, but Indulge Creamery feels like the real deal. If your idea of “clean eating” comes with flavour, this might be the first ice cream you fall in love with post-gym and post-heartbreak. And honestly? It’s about time.
