It’s that time of year again, where indulging is not just encouraged–it’s non-negotiable. And who better to lead the charge into decadent territory than Pidapipo, the experts in gelato and artisan chocolate?
This Easter, Pidapipo is rolling out its most exciting range of treats yet, with brand-new dessert specials and the much-awaited return of its beloved Cioccolato range. From hot cross-inspired creations to beautifully crafted chocolate eggs, Pidapipo has something for everyone–whether you’re gifting, sharing, or (quite rightly) treating yourself.
Hot cross bun glow-up
Forget everything you thought you knew about hot cross buns, because Pidapipo has thrown the rulebook out the window. New for 2024 is the Hot Cross Doughnut, a cheeky twist on tradition you won’t want to miss. This beauty comes topped with creamy fior di latte gelato, dressed with a lusciously spiced caramel sauce. Freshly made-to-order, it’s available exclusively at Pidapipo Laboratorio in Fitzroy. Basically, it’s Easter on a plate, and we guarantee it’ll be love at first bite.
Return of a fave
The Cioccolato range is back, and it’s bringing the kind of handcrafted, artisan goodness that makes you look forward to Easter all year long. Made with Pidapipo’s single-origin cacao and lovingly handmade in Fitzroy, this year’s collection is a feast for both the taste buds and the eyes.
For those who love a classic Easter egg, the range includes bags of artisan chocolate eggs, a mix of luscious dark and milk chocolate. They’re wrapped in stunning Italian-inspired paper designs created by Studio Ongarato, tying a bow on the perfect gift for chocolate lovers. Find them at all Pidapipo stores for $39, or grab a tin of assorted mini eggs for $29.
Looking for something a bit grander? The pièce de résistance of the collection is Pidapipo’s large Easter egg with a surprise inside. Available in both dark and milk chocolate, each egg is filled with hand-decorated mini eggs and features a cheeky little mystery gift, a limited-edition Pidapipo pin. At $32, it’s the kind of gift choice that truly says, “I put thought into this (and I didn’t just buy it at the petrol station on my way over).”
Praline perfection
Of course, nostalgia hits just as hard at Easter, and Pidapipo’s iconic tins of praline-filled chocolates are here to satisfy. These best-sellers bring a flavour trio that’s as exciting as it is indulgent:
- Dark chocolate with white chocolate peppermint ganache.
- Milk chocolate filled with caramel and malt crumble (a texture-lovers dream).
- White chocolate with white chocolate hazelnut ganache.
For $29 a tin, these praline chocolates strike the perfect balance of fancy yet approachable.
Chocolate meets gelato
It wouldn’t be an Easter at Pidapipo without gelato, and this year’s offerings are honestly next-level. Inspired by the mini egg flavours, Pidapipo’s gelato cones are a chocolate-lover’s paradise. For $10 per cone, take your pick from three indulgent combos:
- Peppermint Chocolate Gelato with white chocolate fudge, covered in dark chocolate shards.
- White Chocolate Bacio Gelato with a Nutella swirl, coated in hazelnut meringue.
- Malted Milk Chocolate Gelato with a caramel swirl, dipped in milk chocolate.
Each cone is served in a freshly made waffle cone and dipped in chocolate because, well, why not? No matter which one you choose, you’ll probably wish you’d grabbed all three.
