Who doesn’t love ice cream on a warm summer day?
Indeed, one of our favourite ice cream parlors in Christchurch, Rollickin Gelato, serves the most delicious gelato. Whatever ice cream you’re after, the folks down here are guaranteed to have it, along with many seasonal changes and an excellent array of indulging pairings. Likewise, gelato is available for gf, df, egg-free and vegan dieters. Here are five of our favourite dishes to try this summer at Rollickin Gelato.
1. Jacindy’s Cinnie Bun
This scrumptious baked brioche dish just so happens to be one of the most instagrammable food dishes in Christchurch. It consists of a sweet brioche cinnamon bun, baked with brown sugar and cinnamon filling, and topped with gooey caramel sauce, walnuts, vanilla cream and ice cream of your choice. Certainly, a must-try this summer.
2. Cookie Pie
Demolish the perfect combination of ice cream and cookies with this iconic dish. The house-made cookie pie is gooey on the inside filled with white chocolate chunks and oozing with gooey caramel sauce. Just add a side portion of an organic milk dip and sprays of chocolate and caramel, chocolate sprinkles and melt-in-your-mouth vanilla ice cream to make it oh-so-heavenly.
3. Bloomberry Ice Cream
This dreamy ice cream flavour is perfect for summer. Catering for all diets due to it being vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free. The mouthwatering flavour consists of whipped coconut and raspberries mixed with a creamy pink gelato, swirled with blueberry sauce, fluffy homemade vegan marshmallow and layers of chewy coconut cake pieces. Indeed, the team put serious passion and care into creating this masterpiece, so be sure to give it a try.

4. Gerry Brownie
Devour a delightful mega chocolate and gooey caramel brownie, topped with drizzles of chocolate, hokey pokey chunks, vanilla cream and plenty of chocolate sprinkle dust. Wonderfully, you can select your choice of melting gelato or sorbet that adds to the food perfection. We recommend trying the mint flavour which is a foodies ultimate glory.
5. Merry Mess
This insanely soul-satisfying gluten-free and egg-free flavour made an appearance last year. We can only hope the Rollickin Gelato folks will make it their business to create this jaw-dropping flavour again. It consists of vanilla gelato, swirls of creamy yoghurt, mixed with homemade fresh berry sauce, dark chocolate and squashy raspberry marshmallow. Definitely, the perfect summer flavour to get you in the Christmas mood.
