Mandarin and Eggnog now available!

It is that time of year…

For those who wait patiently for mandarins and eggnog to arrive at your local grocery store, your time has come.

Little Miss Gelato has just released two Christmas flavours - Eggnog Gelato for those looking for a decadent dessert, and Mandarin Sorbet, a dairy-free option that is perfect for a light, refreshing treat.

Both flavours are made with all-natural ingredients and are absolutely scrumptious on their own, or dressed up!

Pair the Mandarin Sorbet with some mandarin zest and fresh mint - a perfect ending to a Christmas feast.

For pure Christmas decadence, make a festive dessert with Eggnog Gelato sandwiched between homemade shortbread cookies. Yummy!

Available now at Save-On Foods, Reo’s and Burrell’s in Nelson.

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Holiday!

Maple Almond Gelato - now available!

Yours truly has just returned from a Thanksgiving mission in our nation’s capital and was lucky enough to score some maple syrup direct from those glorious maple trees across the river in Quebec.

What better way to use delicious maple syrup than to make some Little Miss Gelato. To add a little flare, toasted almonds replace the age-old walnuts and presto – Maple Almond Gelato is here! It is the first time Little Miss Gelato has made this flavour, so feedback is more than welcome and appreciated (as always).

The ingredients are all natural and the maple flavour is 100% pure maple syrup – no artificial colours or flavours used here (or any other LMG product for that matter). This decedent flavour is available until the maple syrup stocks have been depleted. So grab a bit of mother nature’s nectar infused with Little Miss Gelato Italian ice cream and enjoy.

Maple Almond Gelato is available in Nelson at: Reo’s Video, Save-On Foods and Burrell’s Grocer.

Special orders are available for large gatherings or for those who like to consume large amounts of gelato in short periods of time!

Did you know:

It takes 40 litres of maple tree sap to make 1 litre of maple syrup.
Quebec alone produces 75% of the world’s supply of maple syrup.
First nations people made maple syrup long before Europeans arrived.

Pumpkin Pie Gelato Now Available!

Autumn has arrived and Pumpkin Pie Gelato is here for a very limited time.
At Little Miss Gelato we only use the best all-natural ingredients. Made from real pumpkin, maple syrup and spices, this is the perfect Thanksgiving treat.

Did you know that the word “pumpkin” comes from the Greek “pepon” meaning “large melon”? Actually a member of the squash family, native North Americans used pumpkins as a staple in their diet centuries before Europeans arrived. As today, early settlers to North America used pumpkin in a wide variety of recipes from desserts to stews and soups. The origin of the traditional thanksgiving pumpkin pie is believed to be settlers who sliced the top off a pumpkin, removed the seeds, then filled the remaining shell with milk, honey, and spices. The pumpkin was then baked in hot ashes.

Available at Save-On Foods, Burrell’s, Reo’s and at Pixie Candy (by the scoop), this creamy and deliciously pumpkin dessert is only available until Thanksgiving. So, pick up a container and enjoy a little gelato with your fall!
