Cherry Granita

It starts with the Cherry Granita, which they describe as “summer in a cup.” This frozen delight comes topped with whipped cream for a creamy finish that balances perfectly against the bright cherry flavour. It’s light, refreshing, and ideal for anyone chasing that cooling hit on a warm Melbourne afternoon.
The Monster Shake

Next up is The Monster Shake, a creation that looks like it’s stepped straight off a dessert dream board. This Oreo thick shake is stacked high with Biscoff gelato and topped with a freshly baked house cookie. It’s unapologetically rich, picture-perfect, and practically made for the ‘gram.
Tiramisu Gelato
For those who like their treats with a touch of sophistication, Tiramisu Gelato offers a more classic indulgence. It layers mascarpone, espresso, sponge, and cocoa into a creamy scoopable form, turning one of Italy’s most iconic desserts into a perfect summer indulgence.
Panettone Gelato Jar – Arriving 17 November

Launching on 17 November, GLO’s Panettone Gelato Jar is the festive crown jewel of this collection. Real panettone chunks are folded through creamy gelato and swirled with sweet peach jam, creating a dessert that feels both nostalgic and new. It’s rich, buttery, and exactly what you want after a long Christmas lunch. In addition to this delightful offering, fans can also look forward to the schnitz mexican parma launch, which promises to bring a vibrant twist to a classic favorite.
