Elato Ice Cream Launches Quattro Pistachio Explosion Gelato! Australia
After over a year of development, Elato has launched Quattro Pistachio Explosion, a world-first gelato brought to market through a collaboration with Pistachio Papi, renowned for its viral pistachio spread.
The indulgent tub brings together four premium pistachio elements, delivering a layered experience:
A rich pistachio gelato base containing 30% more nuts than typical Italian gelaterias
Generous caramelised pistachio pieces throughout
A swirl of Pistachio Papi’s signature spread around the edge of the tub
A crunchy hard-shell topping made from the same spread and garnished with extra caramelised pistachios
Crafted in Melbourne, this creation required a purpose-built manufacturing machine imported from Italy by Aurora Foods. It's not just a flavor innovation—it’s also a celebration of what collaboration across three Australian businesses can achieve.
The limited-edition gelato is now available in the promotional freezer at select Coles stores across Victoria, NSW, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and at LaManna Supermarket in Essendon Fields.
With previous Pistachio Papi offerings regularly selling out quickly, fans are encouraged to purchase early. At the time of publication, pricing wasn’t available.
Limited-Edition Gyokuro Green Tea Ice Cream from Häagen-Dazs Japan! Japan
In celebration of its 35th anniversary in Japan, Häagen‑Dazs unveiled an upgraded green tea-inspired variant called Gyokuro Häagen-Dazs. This version uses powdered gyokuro leaves and gyokuro extract and offers stronger tea notes than Häagen-Dazs’ Green Tea flavored ice cream. The result is an exceptionally rich, ceremonial-grade flavor offered at around JPY 400 (USD 2.71) per 3.4oz cup.
New Retail Ice Cream Range from Baskin-Robbins! India
Baskin‑Robbins India has launched a bold new retail-focused ice cream range across supermarkets, general trade outlets, and major quick commerce platforms.
This dynamic new portfolio is designed to position ice cream as an anytime snack rather than a traditional post-meal indulgence. It features a broad variety of formats and flavors tailored to diverse tastes: from indulgent chocolate creations and fruity summer treats to traditional Indian flavors crafted for local palates.
Some standout products in the new lineup include:
Super Strawberry Surprise Cone: Creamy strawberry ice cream with real strawberry pieces is swirled with chocolate-flavored confectionery, topped with milk choco-chips, and served in a crisp cone. A 110g cone retails for INR 95 (USD 1.08).
The Original Triple Chocolate Stick: A deeply indulgent chocolate treat consisting of milk and white chocolate mousse ice creams and dark chocolate confectionary covered in a milk choco-dip and brownie cake crumb coating. A 65mL cone costs INR 90 (1.03).
Very Blueberry Ice Pop: A refreshing, fruit-centric option featuring blueberry sorbet with a hint of currant. A 65mL serving costs INR 75 (USD 0.86).
Traditional Malai Kulfi Slice: Traditional malai kulfi slice coated with vanilla ice cream topped with Iranian pista slivers
Minis Pack: For the first time, the brand has launched a "Minis" four‑pack featuring four 50mL ice cream sticks—two each of Mississippi Mud and Almond ‘N Caramel flavors.
Alongside these, the brand is introducing ready-to-drink Belgian chocolate milkshakes in milky, dark, and hazelnut variants—all with 30% reduced added sugar and no artificial colors or flavors.

Guinness and Van Leeuwen Create “Lovely Day for a Guinness” Ice Cream! United States
Guinness and Van Leeuwen have teamed up to create “Lovely Day for a Guinness”, a bold and unexpected limited‑edition ice cream flavor that blends Guinness’s iconic roasted stout character with Van Leeuwen’s signature ultra‑creamy, French‑style base. Rich chocolate chunks are swirled throughout, balancing the malty bitterness of the stout with sweet indulgence. This scoop is smooth, slightly foamy, and great for bright summer days.
The ice cream pays homage to the vintage 1950s “Lovely Day for a Guinness” advertising campaign. It’s served in packaging inspired by the limited-edition Guinness Draught Stout four-pack, featuring a modern re-imagining of the classic toucan artwork.
