With lines snaking up the street from her two gelato stores in Melbourne, and a new recipe book published by Hardie Grant, it’s hard to believe that Lisa Valmorbida’s insanely popular Pidapipò Gelateria has only been around for three years.

At first, Lisa couldn’t come up with a name for her soon-to-exist gelateria. Nothing sounded right. It wasn’t until her father suggested ‘Pidapipò’, an Italian finger game that Lisa’s Nonno used to play, that she felt they were on the right track. Now, she couldn’t imagine it being called anything else.

Today, Lisa shares her epic gelato banana split!

There aren’t too many people who would be brave enough to drop out of a ‘stable’ university degree, pack up and travel halfway across the world to Italy to go to ‘Gelato University’. But that’s exactly what Lisa Valmorbida of Pidapipò did, and despite a couple of bumps in the road, she hasn’t looked back!

Fast-forward to 2017 and Lisa has two of her own thriving gelato stores in Melbourne, and most recently released her first book, Pidapipò, through Hardie Grant books. We’re lucky enough to have the ice-cream aficionado on hand this month to share a few of her favourite recipes to knock the socks off friends and family this holiday season!
