Flavor has a way of taking you somewhere else. Some wrap you in warm comfort, like a cozy afternoon indoors, while others burst with sunshine and salt air.
Talenti introduces two brand-new flavors that do exactly that. Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch Gelato and Paradise Passionfruit Sorbetto sit at opposite ends of the spectrum yet share the same intention: to transport. The first is indulgent and deeply comforting. The second is tropical and refreshingly light. Different moods, different flavor destinations , both unmistakably Talenti.
Ready to officially meet the newest additions? Introducing...
Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch Gelato
Inspired by the timeless flavors of classic Italian gelaterias, Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch Gelato brings a sense of indulgence to U.S. freezers, the Talenti way. At its base is smooth chocolate gelato, layered with real roasted Italian hazelnuts, ribbons of decadent fudge sauce, and crunchy chocolate cookie pieces.
The result is a perfectly balanced mix of creamy and crunchy. The toasted hazelnuts add warmth and depth, while the layers of chocolate build a comforting richness that feels especially perfect on colder days or anytime you’re craving something cozy.
Paradise Passionfruit Sorbetto
Paradise Passionfruit Sorbetto delivers a light, tropical escape built around real fruit. This dairy-free sorbetto is made with 100% fruit juice sourced from South America and Southeast Asia. Blending yellow and purple passionfruit, it bursts with a balanced sweet, tart, and subtly floral flavor.
Follow Your Cravings with Talenti Tastemaker Recipes
Why stop at the pint? To bring these flavors to life, we’ve teamed up with Tastemaker Sarah Fennel of Broma Bakery. Known for her elevated yet approachable style, Sarah was the perfect partner to translate the new Talenti flavors into simple, show-stopping recipes.
First, there’s Hot Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch Affogato, a warm, indulgent treat that leans fully into comfort. It’s an easy-to-make rich and creamy hot chocolate served over a generous scoop of Talenti Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch Gelato.
On the flip side, Paradise Passionfruit Parfait is sunshine in a glass. Layers of tangy sorbetto, crumbled graham crackers, and coconut whipped cream capture the tropical brightness of Paradise Passionfruit in a dessert that’s playful, fresh, and perfectly Instagram-ready.
"We love how different these two flavors are, while still feeling equally craveable," said Nicole Towner, Associate Director, Talenti. "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."
Snowed In or Sun-Soaked: A Talenti Tasting Experience
We’re extending the idea of a flavor-driven escape beyond the pint with Snowed In or Sun-Soaked: A Talenti Tasting Experience, taking place in New York City on February 19th, 2026. Think of this as a mini getaway in two acts.
Guests begin in a cozy, Italian apres-ski cafe, savoring Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch Gelato as the rich flavors wrap them in comfort. From there, they wander into a lush, South American-inspired jungle lounge, where Paradise Passionfruit Sorbetto delivers a burst of tropical sweetness.
It’s the perfect way to experience Talenti’s “escape through flavor” philosophy in real life. And everyone’s invited.
The event is open to the public from 12:00PM to 3:00PM ET on 532 W 28th Street in New York City (while supplies last).
