Divino is introducing a line of single-serve desserts that give consumers a new way to enjoy gelato. While gelato-filled fruits are a popular treat in southern Italy, the dessert is not very common in North America. Now Divino is bringing the frozen delicacy stateside in the form of a healthy new product.

The new desserts from Divino are frozen fruits filled with different flavors of [gelato ice cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sammontana-gelati-allitaliana). Unlike other frozen treats, the single-serve desserts provide a healthy form of indulgence that is low in calories and free from fat, gluten, [dairy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valsoia-plantbased-gelato) and GMOs. The fact that the gelato is served in fruit also provides a nutritious alternative to many [chocolate-covered ice cream treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trfr-frozen-fruit-snacks).

Handmade in Italy and packaged in sleek, modern boxes, the gelato-filled fruits are likely to appeal to health-consious consumers looking for an interesting dessert alternative.
