When summer arrives, there are few certainties: that it will be the hottest in the last twenty years, and that the famous flower-shaped gelato from Florence will go viral again on social media. An iconic cone—probably the most Instagrammable ever—that combines the taste of an Italian classic with the beauty of a striking shape, perfect for racking up thousands of likes. Yet, in the end, it’s still just a simple gelato.
It seemed destined to remain the most beautiful and delicious dessert of the season. This year, however, a Milanese pastry shop has decided to rewrite the rules of “floral” summer desserts by launching an even more surprising—and decidedly more indulgent—version of the traditional rose-shaped gelato.
What is the Rose Coupe?
At first glance, it might look like a simple ice cream sundae with a slightly retro charm, but it actually hides three layers just waiting to be discovered. At the base of the Rose Coupe is the iconic angel cake from Oslo Made in Heaven, one of Milan’s most beloved modern pastry shops. On top is a generous layer of ice cream or sorbet of your choice, making it refreshing and perfect for summer.
To top it all off, a light rose-flavored whipped cream gives the dessert its elegant floral shape. The result is a delicate and refreshing treat, ideal for a summer snack that delights not only the palate but also the eye. Plus, for true matcha lovers, there’s also a version with a cream featuring the delicate flavor of the most beloved Japanese green tea of all time!

Tiramisu Coffee and Marshmallow Cream: What to Find at Oslo Made in Heaven
If you love desserts, this Milanese pastry shop is a true paradise —in name and in fact. Here you’ll find classic ice cream cones, but also more original offerings like tiramisu-flavored iced coffee: a new creation that combines a simple, energizing, and refreshing drink like iced coffee with the iconic Italian dessert. If, on the other hand, you prefer floral flavors, take advantage of the summer to try a delicate rose-flavored gelato, enriched with pieces of loukoum, the traditional Turkish delight.
And for true sweet tooths, there’s FLUFF, probably the most indulgent ice cream sundae in Milan: a base of angel cake, your choice of ice cream or sorbet, and a layer of soft, lightly toasted marshmallow cream, for a sweet—or rather, very sweet—finish.
