Pidapipo Has Brought Back Its Single-Origin Easter Eggs — Plus Brand-New Hot Cross Doughnuts and Praline-Filled Treats
Test the bounds of your sweet tooth — these limited-run Easter treats offer sugary goodness from top to bottom.
The hot cross bun and Easter egg specials are coming thick and fast as the long weekend creeps closer. Joining the fun is much-loved gelateria artigianale Pidapipo, with a brand new range of desserts to feast on. Plus, they're bringing back their admired single-origin Cioccolato range for the holiday, meaning there's something for everyone and every occasion, whether you're longing for baked buns, artisan Easter eggs or chocolate-focused gelato.
Available in limited numbers for the first time in 2025, Pidapipo has invented what it's calling the hot cross doughnut. Here, hot cross bun dough is fried to perfection, then served hot with a scoop of fior di latte gelato and a drizzle of spiced salted caramel sauce. Made fresh to order, this decadent creation is available exclusively at Pidapipo's Fitzroy Laboratorio.
For another sweet treat, Pidapipo is using its high-end Cioccolato range to produce a range of Easter eggs that will give your hunt an artisanal lift. Produced with single-origin Dominican Republic cacao, you can score bags of six mini eggs in milk and dark chocolate. Alternatively, the brand's larger Easter eggs come with a surprise inside — a wrapped mini chocolate egg and a cute Pidapipo pin.
Also up for grabs are six-packs of assorted medium eggs and their bestselling praline-filled chocolate bundled in a carefully designed tin. Encasing a trio of flavours, the selection includes dark chocolate filled with white chocolate peppermint ganache; milk chocolate filled with caramel and malt crumble; and white chocolate with white chocolate and hazelnut ganache. Recalling traditional Italian design, Pidapipo teamed up with leading local outfit Studio Ongarato to develop the charming packaging.
Pidapipo is still one of the best gelato spots in town. Churning out something special for Easter, visitors will find chocolate-focused gelato cones inspired by the flavour trio in Pidapipo's mini eggs tin. These indulgent options include: peppermint chocolate gelato with white chocolate fudge and dark chocolate shards; white chocolate bacio gelato with Nutella swirl and hazelnut merengue; and malted milk chocolate gelato with caramel swirl, dipped in milk chocolate.
Growing from a Carlton pop-up to four locations across Melbourne – Fitzroy, Windsor, Melbourne CBD and Carlton – all but the hot cross doughnut are available at every store. You'll have to make your way to the Fitzroy Laboratorio to get your hands on that limited dessert.
Pidapipo's Easter specials are available for a limited time at Carlton, Windsor, Fitzroy and Melbourne CBD locations. Head to the website for more information.
