Biscoff Gulab Jamun and vanilla ice cream dessert at Kerala Canteen Leeds

Biscoff Gulab Jamun and Ice Cream at Kerala Canteen, Leeds

Let’s be honest.

Most people say they’ll “just have a spoonful” of dessert.

Then this arrives.

Two warm gulab jamuns. A scoop of vanilla ice cream. Biscoff sauce. Biscoff crumb. Suddenly, everyone at the table wants more than one bite.

At Kerala Canteen, we’ve never been interested in creating ordinary dishes. Instead, we take familiar favourites and give them a fresh perspective. Our Biscoff Gulab Jamun & Ice Cream does exactly that.

The result is a dessert that feels comforting, indulgent, and surprisingly addictive from the very first spoonful.

If you’re searching for the best Indian dessert in Leeds, you’ve just found a strong contender.


Why This Isn’t Just Another Gulab Jamun

Gulab jamun has earned its place as one of the most loved Indian desserts in the world.

For generations, these golden milk dumplings have been gently fried before being soaked in warm syrup, creating a rich and melt-in-the-mouth texture. However, we wanted to push the experience a little further.

Rather than changing the heart of the dish, we decided to build around it.

By combining warm gulab jamun with creamy vanilla ice cream and caramelised Biscoff flavours, we’ve created something that feels both familiar and exciting. As a result, guests get the comfort of tradition alongside the thrill of discovering something new.

That’s exactly why it has become one of the most ordered desserts on our menu.

What’s Inside the Biscoff Gulab Jamun & Ice Cream?

For £8.50, you’ll receive:

  • Two warm gulab jamuns
  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Biscoff sauce
  • Crushed Biscoff crumb
  • A perfect balance of hot, cold, soft, and crunchy textures

First comes the warmth of the syrup-soaked gulab jamun. Then the vanilla ice cream slowly melts into the sauce. Meanwhile, the Biscoff crumb delivers a buttery crunch that keeps every bite interesting.

Consequently, no two spoonfuls feel exactly the same.

One moment you’re enjoying soft, warm sweetness. The next, you’re getting creamy vanilla notes and caramelised biscuit crunch. Before long, the dessert disappears entirely.


The Secret Is the Contrast

Great desserts create contrast.

That’s why people love brownies with ice cream, sticky toffee pudding with cream, and warm cookies with gelato.

Our Biscoff Gulab Jamun & Ice Cream follows the same principle. However, it brings together flavours that you won’t find in a typical dessert menu.

The warmth of the gulab jamun meets the coolness of the ice cream. At the same time, the smooth sauce is balanced by crunchy Biscoff crumb.

Together, these textures create a dessert that’s rich without feeling heavy and indulgent without becoming overwhelming.


A Modern Indian Dessert with a Kerala Canteen Twist

At Kerala Canteen, we’re proud to be recognised as one of the best Indian restaurants in Leeds.

However, awards don’t happen by accident.

Every dish we serve reflects our belief that food should surprise people. Therefore, we constantly look for ways to blend authentic Indian flavours with modern dining experiences.

The Biscoff Gulab Jamun & Ice Cream captures that philosophy perfectly.

Traditional Indian roots.

Modern creativity.

A little bit rebellious.

A lot delicious.


The Perfect Ending to Your Meal

Many guests discover this dessert after enjoying our:

  • South Indian tapas
  • Kerala curries
  • Sharing plates
  • Biriyanis
  • Weekend specials

After all, a memorable meal deserves a memorable finish.

While some desserts simply fill a gap, this one becomes part of the conversation. Guests often order it to share. However, sharing usually becomes much harder once the first spoonful lands.

Moreover, the contrast between warm gulab jamun and cold vanilla ice cream creates a finish that feels satisfying without being too rich.

That’s why so many people come back for it.

  • Dessert lovers
