Whether you're into the whole loved-up Valentine's Day stuff or not, chocolate is always a good idea. And a creamy chocolate gelato cake that pays homage to a classic Italian dessert? Well, that's even better.

So, Piccolina Gelateria is sure to win hearts with its latest limited-edition creation: a giant frozen 'baci'. The Bacio di Piccolina is a nod to the original Baci, featuring a ball of lush handmade hazelnut and chocolate gelato crowned with hazelnut praline and toasted hazelnuts.

The whole thing has a base of rich chocolate fudge and comes covered completely in smooth dark chocolate. And the silver foil wrapping even hides a cute love note, in case you're gifting the dessert to a (sweet-toothed) someone special. Or, for a little self-love infusion while you're scoffing the V-Day present you bought yourself, of course.

Clocking in at $20 each, the Bacio di Piccolina's designed to serve two — though we're sure that's just a rough guideline.

The Bacio di Piccolina is available at to order online and at Piccolina's Collingwood, Hawthorn and St Kilda stores until sold out.
