Joe Delucci’s is (apparently) gelato, not ice cream so it should come as no surprise that it’s thicker, creamier and more luxurious feeling than most of the other tubs on sale in the supermarkets.
The flavours are evenly split throughout the pint and while the chocolate isn’t as strong as some other brands are, it’s more natural tasting (if chocolate ever can be) and still has a rich deep flavour. We absolutely adored the hazelnut side, it’s incredibly rich and nutty tasting and perfectly compliments the chocolate side. This is a flavour we rescooped again and again as we just loved the combination but we found both flavours good enough we’d eat either alone too.
Available in Joe Delucci’s kiosks.
Chocolate gelato swirled with chocolate sauce and chocolate fudge cake pieces – as this is a gelato it is supposed to have a denser feel than ice cream and be served at a warmer temperature. While it did feel heavier, both on our spoons and in our mouths, we felt it actually had a lighter and airier texture. Beware, despite the supposed warmer temperatures, this is a melter and within 20 minutes of leaving the freezer was a puddle of liquid chocolate.
