Vanilla Beans has launched its highly anticipated seasonal menu featuring innovative dessert creations centred around fresh, handpicked strawberries and Nutella. The gourmet dessert cloud kitchen, operating from Bandra, is expanding its beloved strawberry collection with exciting new textural variations.
For years, the Nutella Strawberry Cake has been Vanilla Beans’ undisputed bestseller during strawberry season. The classic combination of rich Nutella layered with homemade strawberry compote and fresh, seasonal strawberries has earned a devoted following among Mumbai’s dessert enthusiasts. Its popularity has made it a staple at celebrations and a favorite for gifting, with customers eagerly awaiting its return each year when strawberry season arrives.
Building on this success, Vanilla Beans is now introducing two new signature items: the Nutella Strawberry Krispy Kunafa and the Nutella Strawberry Crunchy Crumble. The Krispy Kunafa features homemade pistachio paste blended with imported kataifi (shredded phyllo pastry), delivering a distinctive crispy crunch to the indulgent layers of Nutella and fresh strawberries. The Crunchy Crumble features house-made buttery crumble that provides a proper crunch and satisfying textural contrast with the creamy Nutella and fresh strawberry layers beneath.
“We’re passionate about creating desserts that engage multiple senses,” said Rohit Desai, co-founder of Vanilla Beans. “This season, we’ve focused on layering different textures—crispy kunafa with silky Nutella, house-made crumble creating proper crunch—to ensure every bite is a memorable experience that goes beyond just flavor.”
Vanilla Beans, led by mother-son duo Deepa Desai and Rohit Desai, has established itself as a premium dessert destination in Mumbai over the past decade. Known for their same-day baking commitment and contemporary flavor innovations, Vanilla Beans have become a go-to choice for celebrations, gifting, and personal indulgences. The brand has built a reputation for introducing seasonal varieties, particularly during the mango and strawberry seasons.
The complete strawberry collection also includes Belgian Dark Chocolate Strawberry, Biscoff Strawberry, and Strawberry Cheesecake varieties, with vegan and sugar-free options available. All items are offered in full cakes, bento sizes, and convenient dessert tubs to suit different preferences and occasions—from ₹250 individual tubs to celebration cakes.
