Visiting Gelato Fiasco


We did it, we finally made it to Gelato Fiasco after all these years! It's been six years since my last GF review, and to make up for that, we visited GF Tuesday night on our way up through Maine, and then Wednesday night on our way back home. Let's see if this stuff is even better in person (but come on, you know it will be).

Gelato Fiasco Mint Brookie, Brownie Cookie


[New for 2019] I waited three months to try the last of Nick's three new flavors. Why did I wait so long? Maybe because I knew I would inhale half the pint without even thinking about (note: I did just that). Let you introduce you to my tasty little friend.

Gelato Fiasco Deep Maine Woods Brownie Gelato


[New for 2019] Let me start with a solemn goodbye to the original "Deep Maine Woods" gelato that only survived for one year. Do not despair too much because it's successor is already here, and it has traded it's smokey caramel and honeycomb bits for an array of other mix-ins.

Gelato Fiasco Nutterfluffer Gelato


[New for 2019] Time to try the first of the three flavors that Nick has been working on for the last several months. Yes, Gelato Fiasco was nice enough to send a free sample of each pint, but Nick wouldn't want me to take it easy on him, so here goes.

Gelato Updates for 2019


First, the good news. Our old pal Nick is responsible for three of the new flavors coming out of Gelato Fiasco! How's that for awesome. The flavors have been popping up on instagram.

Deep Maine Woods Brownie replaces the rookie Deep Maine Woods.
Nutterfluffer is an homage to my beloved Fluffernutter
     (peanut butter and marshmallow for you non-regional people).
Mint Brookie, Brownie Cookie is just for fun.

And now the bad news. Talenti has announced their 2019 lineup.... and it's BORING. Oh boy, 4 organic flavors and another (potentially GI troubling) less sugar flavor. Be still my beating heart.

Lemon Bar is the new less sugar flavor, and the organic ones are brown butter caramel, chocolate mousse, ginger matcha, and oak-aged vanilla. Look, I love classic flavors, but really? That's the best you can do? I guess ginger match is out there for them, but at least throw us one crazy flavor. Since Talenti likes to stick to 40 flavors, that means we lose chocolate chipsimply strawberry, chocolate sorbetto, cinnamon peach biscuit, and chocolate caramel blondie. (I spied toasted almond as limited last year but it's not on this year's or last year's flavor list). The funny thing is that I've seen stores clearancing Talenti flavors besides these five. In particular, almost every store I've seen has wiped out the less sugar vanilla cinnamon flavor.

Update: I saw tags put out for the new Talenti Layers lineup. There seem to be four flavors and each flavor has 5 layers. We should be seeing them soon!

March Update: People have started spying these flavors and there are in fact seven of them in all!

Technically Dove has released some new salted caramel, chocolate dipped Gelato bars as well. I have no idea why because their lineup is so small, you wouldn't think there would be room for this random treat. Ok, that's all I got for now!

Gelato Fiasco Sunken Treasure Gelato


[New for 2018] Ok, I think it's well past the time that we try this next flavor. This free sample has been patiently waiting for a month trying to get my attention... well, let me clarify. I keep thinking about it, but it's just never in my general vicinity when I do. Let's finally dig in to...

Gelato Fiasco Double Caramel Cookies & Cream


[New for 2018] Ok, time to finally show you one of the other free samples Gelato Fiasco sent over two months ago. I covered all the new nutty options then, but what about the one that toys with my favorite classic flavor: Cookies & Cream.

New Nutty Options from Gelato Fiasco


[New for 2018] Hello Nosh Show listeners! Ha, just kidding, happy Monday everyone, hopefully a lot of you have the day off and are thinking of heading to the grocery store to fill up the freezer. Our buds over at Gelato Fiasco were nice enough to send over free samples of their six new flavors that they just released. I'm going to cheat a little and show you all the nutty ones first. That's right, four of the six are bringing some nuttiness to your freezer. Let's see what they've got to offer.

Gelato Fiasco first to tease 2018 flavor line up


The process from flavor creation to being on a freezer aisle shelf is a long ordeal, and in the past, I've joked about who will be first to release news about their next year's line up. Well, for 2018, Gelato Fiasco gets the early announcement prize as they teased six potential flavors on Instagram on Thursday night. (I took notes ofcourse!)


Sunken Treasure: brown butter gelato, salty pretzel booty, fudge bits, swirl
Bourbon Butter Pecan: butter pecan gelato, nip of bourbon, buttered pecans
Deep Maine Woods: chocolate gelato, smoky caramel swirl, honeycomb candy
Double Caramel Cookies & Cream: caramel gelato, salted caramel swirl, chocolate cookies
Doughing Me, Doughing You: peanut butter cookie dough, chocolate chip dough, brownie dough (& fudge truffles)
A Big 'Ole Peanut Butter Pint: salted creamy peanut butter base, rippled peanut butter swirl, chopped chocolate peanut butter cups

Could there be other flavors? Maybe!  Am I excited? Ofcourse I am! If you are a fan of Gelato Fiasco, how would you rank this lineup? Leave your thoughts in the comments section.

Strawberry Showdown 2017


[Both New for 2017] Everyone remembers I love strawberry ice cream right? It's not a daily driver for me, but when the mood hits, a nice strawberry flavor can really be great. Now in general, I would do an actual side by side comparison for one of these fights. However, I only ever see the Yuengling's Strawberry ice cream by my work and my free Gelato Fiasco Strawberry Gelato sample is at my home so we are going to improvise a little.

Gelato Fiasco Chocolate Raspberry Jam Gelato


[By Nick, 2017 only] The lovely folks over at Gelato Fiasco sent both Dubba and I some free samples of their latest flavors plus a few other gems like a reformulated version of my beloved Torched Marshmallow S'mores Gelato. Out of the four new flavors being rolled out right now, this one caught my attention the most.

The Gelato Fiasco Malt Iced Coffee Gelato


[By Nick, New for 2015] Time for the last of the new summer flavors from The Gelato Fiasco we received for free. This one includes coffee and malt. Those are two things I'm very interested in. Seeing as I loved their Espresso Chip flavor, I have a feeling this one is going to be another winner.

Gelato Fiasco Sriracha Peanut Gelato and
Steve's Thai Peanut Butter Pretzel Ice Cream


[By Nick, Both New for 2015] One of my predictions for the year was that we'd see some spicier flavors on the market from the smaller companies. While I was expecting the trendy chocolate and chili combo, I didn't expect to see sriracha and peanuts being the next trend. And not within a week of each other did I receive both Steve's and The Gelato Fiasco's sriracha infused flavors. I'm going to call this the....

Gelato Fiasco Almond Butter Chocolate Chunk Gelato


[New for June 2015] Of the three new flavors Gelato Fiasco sent to me and Nick, this will be the only one I take the lead on since Nick does most of our coffee reviews and he's got something in store next weekend for the excellent sriracha flavor they sent over.

[By Nick] <words>redacted</words>, I think it's time to post one of the Gelato Fiasco reviews I had saved for a rainy day. And look, it's raining here in Upstate, NY right now! Perfect timing!

Gelato Fiasco Espresso Chip Gelato


[By Nick] ‎Remember back in November when I went to Maine and visited the fine folks at The Gelato Fiasco? Well while I was there, I also tried their God of Thunder coffee. That's easily the greatest name for coffee but it was also some of the best coffee I've ever had. It could've been all in my head after sampling so many sweets throughout the day, the coldness from walking around Maine or just being in that area. However, I've yet to have a black coffee as good as theirs. Why do I mention this? Well because I'm reviewing this!

Gelato Fiasco The Big County Brownie Gelato


[New for end of 2014] Oh, for the love of Pete, did I lose another review? I swear I had notes on this one.... where did it.... Oh, nevermind. I remember the main points, plus I still have some left.

Gelato Fiasco Darkest Chocolate Peppermint Sorbetto


[2014-2015] Amongst the free samples of new seasonal flavors that Gelato Fiasco was cool enough to send over, there was one pint in particular... that managed to fall behind the frozen veggies and tater tots in the freezer downstairs. Hehehehe, sorry about that GF.

Gelato Fiasco Spiked Eggnog Gelato


[By Nick, left after 2015] Time to give my uneducated opinion on another eggnog flavor! Not only that, this one is mixed with alcohol. We all know I'm not too familiar with alcoholic products but I have encountered both marsala and bourbon in other products so let's see how this goes.
