This flavour is one of the more extreme ones we make at Messina and it’s definitely not for the faint-hearted — it’s our version of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
We start off by making slabs of brioche, which are cut into small pieces and fried in butter. We then make a banana jam and, finally, a peanut butter gelato. As the gelato comes out of the machine, we ladle in the jam and throw in the fried brioche.
A customer by the name of Christian Lo Russo, better known as front man of the rock band Amy Meredith, loved it so much that, for a while, we changed the name of this flavour to Christian Skinny Jeans.
Don’t eat for the day if you’re planning to make this gelato!
