The onset of summer means that ice cream season is here. And that’s the cue for everyone to visit their closest Naturals Ice Cream. But this time, the store is offering an original twist. For the first time, two of Mumbai’s iconic brands have come together for a cool collaboration in the hot season. The coolest Naturals Ice Cream and the hottest Bombay Sweet Shop have joined hands to co-create the most sinfully delicious ice creams: Tender Coconut Naga Chilli and Coffee Fudge Crunch. Salivating already, aren’t you?
Two Icons, One Collab
Besides, this collaboration is extra-special because it brings two iconic Bombaiyaa brands that have elevated the dessert scene of the maximum city. It’s also an alliance between a classic and a fusion. Naturals, a brand known for simplicity and ice cream made with just three ingredients: milk, sugar and seasonal fruits; and Bombay Sweet Shop, a brand rooted in remixing traditional mithais to make the most experimental confections. From Rasgulla Tiramisu to Dark Chocolate Kaju Katlis, there are no limits to their imagination. There’s no doubt that the partnership between such drastic opposites is going to taste off the charts, just like the sweltering temperatures we’re touching in this summer of ’26.
The Brands Behind It
Summer anyway is synonymous with ice cream. There’s no way to get through the season without Naturals’ seasonal flavours. And this time with a limited-edition “The Original Twist”. Since 1984, Naturals has been quietly but consistently doing the thing that is hardest to do: staying exactly itself. Over 185 outlets across 15 states, and a Tender Coconut ice cream that Taste Atlas has officially placed among the top 100 most iconic ice creams in the world. The brand earns its tagline “Taste the Original,” every single day.
Bombay Sweet Shop on the other hand reimagines traditional mithais in a never-done-before way that’s too good to miss out on. Its flavours are somehow still both instantly recognisable and entirely surprising at the same time. One brand built its reputation on the original. The other built its identity on the twist. Together, they’ve got the most exciting ice creams Mumbai has had in a while.
Tender Coconut Naga Chilli
Naturals’ Tender Coconut ice cream is gentle, creamy and subtly sweet. Naga Chilli on the other hand is not shy, and is one of the hottest chillies in the world. Combining the two contrasts needs strong confidence, and Bombay Sweet Shop clearly has it in abundance. And the contrast is genuinely brilliant. Cold and heat. Sweet and spice. It’s the ice cream you grew up with in a version you never saw coming.
Coffee Fudge Crunch
Naturals’ Coffee Walnut base already does a lot right. It is rich and slightly bitter and grounded in a way that feels genuinely adult without being inaccessible. It is the ice cream equivalent of a really good cup of filter coffee on a slow morning. Bombay Sweet Shop has layered into that base with real generosity. The fudge is chewy and deep. Then there is the crunchy nut-and-coffee brittle scattered through, which adds a crackle to every few bites that feels like a little reward for paying attention. The texture alone is worth the trip. Creamy and crunchy and chewy all happening at once, in every spoonful.
What the People Behind It Are Saying
Siddhant Kamath, Director at Naturals Ice Cream, captures the spirit of it well: “India’s favourite scoops have officially met the masters of modern mithai. There’s a strong sense of nostalgia at the heart of this collaboration, but also a lot of fun in reimagining familiar favourites, bringing together two loved brands to create something that feels both comforting and refreshingly new.”
Sameer Seth, Founder and CEO of Bombay Sweet Shop, puts it in a way that is true to everything the brand stands for: “At Bombay Sweet Shop, we have always celebrated the familiar, bringing it a twist that feels exciting and relevant for today. Naturals’ ice creams are something so many of us have grown up with, and reimagining those classics in our own way made the process especially enjoyable. It is really about finding a balance between nostalgia and newness, while staying true to what people already love.”
Where to Get Them
Both flavours are out now and available all through summer, which means you have no reason to not try them at least twice.
You can find the limited-edition scoops at any Naturals Ice Cream outlet across India. If you are in Mumbai, you can also get them at Bombay Sweet Shop’s mithai stores and cafés across the city, which feels like the correct way to experience a collab this Mumbai. Whether it is a post-meal treat, an afternoon pick-me-up, or just an excuse to step out for something cold, as the brands themselves put it, there is always a good time for a scoop.
And if the heat has you feeling like stepping out is simply not happening today, both flavours are available on Swiggy, Zomato, and directly through order.naturalicecreams.in. A few taps and a reasonable amount of patience is all that stands between you and a tub of Coffee Fudge Crunch.
The Bottom Line
A collab this good doesn’t come around often. Two brands that have spent decades doing their own thing, each very well, have made something that is better for the other’s involvement. Tender Coconut Naga Chilli and Coffee Fudge Crunch are only here for the summer, so the window is smaller than you’d like. Go get a scoop before it’s gone.
