What’s cooler than cool? Ice cold. If Outkast lyrics were anything to go by, then Victoria’s 12-day ice cream festival is the place to be chilling (sorry) this summer.
It takes place in stages across three venues, The Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie, Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Mornington Peninsula Chocolaterie, where each venue will churn 12 new flavours out each day.
In total, that’s 144 exclusive flavours, many of which have been inspired by famous cocktails and pastries and cakes—where possible, the ice cream artisans will be using ingredients from the chocolaterie’s own garden, too.
Listing all 144 flavours would surely induce a brainfreeze, so we won’t, though punters should keep an eye out for highlights such as Butterscotch Old Fashioned, Nutella Pancakes, Salted Black Licorice and Elderflower, Peach Melba and even a Wonka’s Magic.
Ice cream aficionados can also take part in a guided ice cream tasting, where you’ll taste a scoop of flavours then make your own at the end of the session.
The ice cream festival runs from Wednesday 7 February to Sunday 18 February. Find out more here.
