This spring, Melbourne’s beloved gelateria, Pidapipo, invites you to indulge in a delightful fusion of Greek tradition and modern gelato artistry. F
rom September 16th to October 6th, Pidapipo will be serving a limited-edition gelato flavour that draws inspiration from Julia’s recipe for Bougatsa, a classic Greek custard pie traditionally enjoyed at breakfast.
This special creation also makes an appearance in her latest culinary book, adding an extra layer of excitement to the collaboration.
The limited-edition Bougatsa gelato features a luscious lemony semolina custard base, swirled with caramelized filo pastry flakes for a perfect blend of creamy and crunchy textures. Served in a crisp waffle cone for just $10, this gelato is a must-try for anyone looking to savor a unique and refreshing treat this season.
For an added indulgence, head over to Pidapipo’s Fitzroy Laboratorio from October 2nd to 6th, where you can enjoy slices of Julia’s Bougatsa dessert, crowned with a scoop of the exclusive gelato. This delightful pairing offers a taste of authentic Greek flavors with a modern twist, making it an irresistible option for dessert lovers.
To celebrate this delicious collaboration and the launch of Julia’s new book, Pidapipo and Julia are hosting a special public giveaway on October 2nd, from 5 PM to 7 PM at the Pidapipo Laboratorio in Fitzroy. During this event, Julia will be present to hand out free Bougatsa custard pies, each topped with a generous scoop of the limited-edition Bougatsa gelato. Available on a first-come, first-served basis, this giveaway is a fantastic way to experience the vibrant spirit of spring while enjoying a taste of Greece.
This unique gelato flavour and the accompanying events are not only a treat for the taste buds but also a beautiful celebration of culinary creativity and cultural heritage.
