Neon Nights at Dessertopia by 196below
The concept for Neon Nights came seven years ago, when the team created their first-ever glowing ice cream for White Night. And now, they’ve brought this fabulous concept to their flagship store in South Melbourne. Each dish is carefully crafted with premium ingredients to take you to a glimmering wonderland.
While details about specific items on the menu are scarce at the moment, Neon Nights last year had a dazzling range of glowing cakes, gelato and lemonades. Cake flavours included The Berry (strawberry, lychee and vanilla), Lotus (matcha, passionfruit, mango) and Kubik (chocolate, mandarin, salted caramel. Meanwhile, gelato flavours last year ranged from choc brownie to bubblegum.
