These Talenti Frozen Treats Come in Two Flavor Options

— February 12, 2026 — Lifestyle
These new Talenti frozen treats have been debuted by the brand as a series of gelato and sorbet options that are perfect for satisfying cravings for cafe-inspired flavors this season. The products come in the form of the Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch Gelato alongside the Paradise Passionfruit Sorbetto, which are each crafted with a keen attention to high-quality ingredients.

The Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch Gelato has 100% roasted Italian hazelnuts with fudge sauce and chocolate cookie pieces, while the Paradise Passionfruit Sorbetto has 100% real passionfruit juice from South America and Southeast Asia. The treats have been used as the base for two desserts created by Talenti Tastemaker Sarah Fennel of Broma Bakery including the Hot Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch Affogato and the Paradise Passionfruit Parfait.

Associate Director Nicole Towner spoke on the Talenti frozen treats saying, "We love how different these two flavors are, while still feeling equally craveable. One delivers an Italian-inspired, chocolatey richness, and the other brings a vibrant, tropical freshness. That contrast made it especially fun to partner with Sarah Fennel of Broma Bakery again, who has been such a great Tastemaker for Talenti. Her recipes bring each flavor to life, highlighting their globally sourced ingredients in a way fans can easily recreate and enjoy."
