By now I hope we’ve all resigned to the fate of living our lives like a tableau of Bridget Jones, sadly eating muesli out of the box on our couches that now sculpt to our figure because of the inordinate amount of time we’ve spent lounging. If not, this news is sure to project you to the highest echelons languor. Gelato Messina has announced that their ready-to-bake chocolate chip cookie pie is back.
$20 will buy you a sweet, sacred evening of revelling in the holy, gooey, immoral fiesta that is the Messina cookie pie. It’ll only take you 10-12 minutes to cook (granted you don’t pay out the wazoo to live in a decrepit inner-city sharehouse where your stove unevenly dispenses heat guaranteeing that everything you attempt to bake is burnt on the outside and raw on the inside and yes I know the difference between a grill and an oven.) It’ll also probably send you spiralling once you realise you, on your lonesome, have consumed a dessert that was intended to serve 6.
Messina are also offering a bunch of red hot combo deals to make this sweet treat that lil bit sweeter. Society has progressed past the need for monitoring our sugar intake. You can’t tell me that there isn’t some random university in like Colorado that has developed artificial replacements for all our vital organs. For $28 inconsequential dollars you can get the pie & a 500ml tub of gelato, for $34 a pie and a 1 litre tub and for $39 a pie and a 1.5 litre tub.
The combination is literally the perfect dessert. It is my sincere belief that a good dessert should have an element of warmth, and element of cold, an element of crunch and an element of goo. The Messina chocolate chip cookie pie offers the same satisfaction as a sticky date pudding with a generous lashing of vanilla ice cream, but without the effort. It’s a dream come true.
