Pure Pops is the lickable fantasy of Australian Gourmet Traveller’s Assistant Food Editor, Alice Storey, and catering whiz, Georgina Larby, come to life. They’ve got a retro little ice cream cart, an umbrella, huge smiles and a freezer full of icy treats that will make you forget the Frosty Fruit ever existed. Ain’t that the life.

The girls are huge fans of Gelato Messina’s crazy take on ice cream and “wanted to produce something a little different by putting a new spin on a childhood classic.” They’re wheeling their cart around the market circuit and the pops are selling as fast as bottled water before a hurricane.

Behold their current range of all-natural, hand-crafted flavours for $3.50 a pop:

blood orange and Campari

coconut, pineapple and passionfruit

banana caramel (our favourite!)

pink grapefruit and elderflower

strawberry and vanilla yogurt swirl

vanilla malt shake

I know. Amazing. They’ll even customize a flavour for an event if you ask them nicely. The flavours are fresh and seasonal and as pretty as the Pure Pops girls themselves, and will change as the months go by. Keep a close eye on their facebook, twitter and their blog to find out where they are headed next (this Saturday it’s the Bondi farmers market!)
