Our Gelato
Our batches of house-made gelato are small because we believe in creating the freshest, smoothest gelato with the best and brightest flavours. We don’t use off-the-shelf mixes, preservatives, artificial colours or flavours. Plus we use seasonal ingredients because it’s more fun for you and better for the planet. Hooray!
“So, what’s the difference between gelato and ice-cream?” you might be wondering. Gelato is made using more whole milk (or, no milk at all depending on the flavour) and less sugar than ice-cream, and ice-cream often uses more cream than gelato. Ice-cream also has a lot more air churned through it than gelato has. This means that gelato has a more intense flavour than ice-cream, and because gelato is served at a lower temperature it feels smoother in the mouth. Mmmmmm . . . . delicious.
When you visit us in store you can sometimes see our Italian trained gelato chef hard at work in our custom built kitchen creating the flavours for the day.
Dairy based gelato
House-made daily using Victorian milk from Schultz Organic Dairy and Gippsland Jersey, our smooth gelato is available in Vanilla, Salted Caramel and Chocolate, plus other delicious flavours like Iced Coffee, Cookies & Cream, Hazelnut and Pistachio, depending on the week. Check out our flavours of the week to see what’s in-store right now.
Fruit based gelato
Called sorbetto, it’s light and refreshing and bursts with the flavours and colours of seasonal fruits. We always try to source locally grown Victorian produce wherever possible and will never use fruits flown in from overseas.
Our sorbeto is dairy free and vegan.
non Dairy gelato
100% plant based, our vegan gelato contains no milk, cream or eggs. Using oat, coconut, cashew or almond milk the result is a creamy gelato with flavours you’ll be smitten with.
KOSHER GELATO
Little Sky’s range of kosher pre-packed tubs contain Kosher Australia fully certified gelato. Available in non-dairy (Pareve) and dairy gelato in a range of delicious flavours including Chocolate, Vanilla, Hazelnut, Strawberry and Lemon. Special, limited edition flavours are also available from time to time including Rosh Hashanah flavours, Honey, and, Apple Crumble. Kosher gelato is also available for Little Sky gelato cart events and wholesale.
It’s what’s inside that counts
If you’ve already had a chance to visit us you will have seen Little Sky is a little different to most ice-cream/gelato shops. Big glass display cabinets heaped with ice-cream are nowhere to be seen. Our gelato is kept in lidded stainless steel containers in a cabinet (called a pozzetti). The pozzetti protects the gelato from the air and helps keep it at a consistent temperature and deliciously fresh. Which is absolutely perfect for our small batch, house-made gelato.
