Hey there, busy bees of London!

We get it, in this bustling city finding time to fully embrace the holiday spirit can be a challenge. But fear not, we’ve got the perfect dessert to sprinkle some Christmas Magic into your life.

Christmas Jungle

Christmas is meant to be a relaxing occasion, but it often turns into a stressful juggling act. Between last-minute gift shopping, decorating the tree, and figuring out what to cook for Christmas dinner, it’s no wonder we sometimes wish we had Santa’s elves to help us out.

But here’s the deal:

❌ Christmas is Not a Performance: Perfectionism can take a vacation. That’s what makes the holidays memorable.

✅ Unico Has Got You Covered: Introducing the Perfect Christmas Dessert: Panettone filled with Gelato.

The Magic of Unico’s Christmas Special

Imagine the classic Italian Panettone, crafted by skilled artisans.

Now, picture this – we take that Panettone and scoop out a portion of its crumb to fill it with not one but two gelato flavours of your choice.

But we’re not finished yet!

To top it off (literally), we add a generous sprinkle of toppings and we drizzle chocolate sauce over it, finishing with a flourish of fresh fruits.

How to Get Your Hands on Unico’s Christmas Dessert

So, Londoners, let’s make this holiday season a little sweeter by pre-ordering your warm Panettone paired with creamy gelato on our website.

And remember, it’s not about perfection; it’s about love, laughter, and a touch of Unico Magic.

Cheers to a stress-free Christmas! 🎅🎄✨

A Hand-Crafted Gift for Valentine’s Day

Written by enrico on . Posted in News, Recipes. Leave a Comment

From a child’s handmade card to an expensive work of art, and everything in between, a hand crafted gift for Valentine’s Day is the best choice, even more meaningful if it’s made or chosen with love and your Valentine’s own likes and dislikes in mind.

Custom-made gelato cakes

That means that our creamy gelato, made fresh daily in-house with only the finest ingredients we can source, makes the best Valentine’s gift. Surprise your Valentine with one of our heart-shaped Valentine’s Day cakes made with up to two of their favourite flavours. Chocolate sweet cake? Yes, please! We can even include a special message on top of your heart cake. What a wonderful way to say I Love You, Be Mine or simply Happy Valentine’s Day!

Gelato tubs to share

Our extra special gelato can also be bought in tubs with one, two, three or even four flavours, depending on the size. Folklore says that many of our ingredients and flavours have aphrodisiacal properties. No better time than Valentine’s Day to try to discover which ones. What a fun thing to test on lovers’ day!

Love and Gelato

A match made in Unico – and Netflix. We make every single gelato with love from our hearts to yours. Love and Gelato, the Netflix movie, is based on a young adult novel by Jenna Evan Welch. It was filmed in la bella Italia where the main character Lina falls in love with Rome, its people and, of course, genuine Italian gelato. It’s a fun Valentine’s Day date night movie. Snuggle in with your sweetheart, and share a tub of our creamy Italian gelato in your favourite flavours.

Gelato Sticks – Recipe

Written by adminEstro on . Posted in Recipes. Leave a Comment

For all the Gelato Lovers that like to experiment and try new things. How many ways of having a gelato do you know? Let´s prepare Gelato Sticks together.  

“Gelato Sticks”

Servings: 2
 

What you need:

160 grams of your favourite Unico Gelato Flavor 2 cups of Chocolate Fondue A Gelato mold for two 2 Popsicle Sticks Optional Salted Caramel sauce Hazelnut Powder  

What to do:

Scoop the Unico Gelato from the container to the Mold. Tap the mold to release air bubbles, then continue to fill until full. Remove the excess of Gelato and insert the popsicle sticks. Freeze the mold until the gelato is completely firm, at least 4 hours. Transfer the chocolate fondue to a large coffee mug or another similar container to dip the gelato sticks in. Unmold the gelato sticks by dunking the mold quickly into warm water to loosen and pinching the mold from the bottom while gently pulling on the stick (so they don’t break in the middle). Rechill on a tray in the freezer for a minute if the gelato has become too soft. Dip a gelato stick into the melted chocolate only once, to completely coat up to the stick, letting excess drip off. Place on a tray and put it into the freezer immediately to chill. Repeat the process for the other gelato stick. Your Gelato sticks are ready, you can store them in the freezer for up to 1 month. To serve, you can go fancy and add your favourite topping or toppings. We love the sticks made of Vanilla gelato covered with vegan dark chocolate, topped with salt caramel sauce and Hazelnut powder.
