Gee whiz. What a week for ice-cream related excitement. First there was Golden Gaytime tub-gate, then the internet lost its mind over a Nutella doughnut milkshake.
Now there's news that mad dessert professors Gelato Messina and Andrew Bowden (aka Andy Bowdy) are collaborating for cone-pulling good times.
From 5pm on Thursday, August 6 at Messina's Darlinghurst Dessert Bar, Messina and the former Hartsyard pastry chef are presenting "limited edition seductive soft-serve sundaes".
Bowden will be sprucing up Messina's Nutella and cinnamon doughnut soft-serve flavours to make four new sundaes priced at $10. The creations are:
Luigi Wilson: white chocolate and mascarpone mousse, Nutella soft-serve, coffee- and tequila-soaked savoiardi biscuits, chocolate hazelnut crumb, Kahlua jelly and hazelnut praline.
Cinnie Bunstein: Warm cinnamon scroll, cinnamon doughnut soft-serve, peanut praline, crushed toasted peanuts, brown sugar caramel and baked cheesecake.
Yoko Kono cone: Nutella soft-serve with yuzu-soaked coconut cake, yuzu curd, white chocolate and Nutella ganache and toasted coconut.
Rocher Fererrer cone: Nutella soft-serve with milk chocolate feuilletine shards, milk chocolate dip, hazelnut and Nutella ganache and edible gold leaf.
Sundaes will be available from 5pm at Gelato Messina Dessert Bar, 241 Victoria Street, Darlinghurst, 9331 0349.
