Inspired by the desserts served at her fantastic collection of restaurants (see: Pizzeria Mozza, Osteria Mozza, Mozza 2-Go, Chi Spacca), Chef Nancy Silverton recently introduced a line of artisanal gelati and sorbetti called Nancy’s Fancy.

These premium pints, which are sold exclusively at Gelson’s (for now) and priced at $10.99 a pop, include flavors like Butterscotch Budino (scotch-laced “pudding” with salted caramel swirls), Roasted Banana with Bourbon & Pecan Praline, and Frutti di Bosco (Greek yogurt with mixed berries). While I was pretty certain I would fall hardest for the Budino, one spoonful of the Stracciatella and…swoon.

Considering that the sorbet’s primary ingredient is full-fat coconut milk, it’s no wonder that its flavor and texture are rich, creamy, and positively dreamy. Deep, dark bittersweet chocolate strands and a dash of salt bring balance to the Stracciatella equation. Taken all together…cue the singing angels. I fancy Nancy’s Fancy very much.
