Cassata Chocolate Ice Cream Effe: the ready-to-serve Italian dessert
The Cassata Chocolate Ice Cream Effe is a single-portion ice cream dessert that brings the full tradition of Italian frozen confectionery to Swiss catering. Each 120-gram portion wraps a heart of chocolate ice cream in a creamy, indulgent structure, designed to end the meal with a touch of elegance and no kitchen preparation. The carton contains 12 pieces, the ideal format for bars, restaurants, hotels and food service businesses that want a quality dessert always available in the freezer.
Distributed by LAPA for the B2B channel in Switzerland, this cassata combines convenience and indulgence: it arrives frozen, keeps for a long time and is served in just a few minutes, ensuring consistent results and portioning. It is the perfect solution for venues that want to expand their dessert menu without adding to the kitchen workload.
The taste: intense chocolate and enveloping creaminess
The aromatic profile of the Cassata Chocolate Ice Cream Effe is dominated by a bold chocolate flavour, balanced and never cloying. The texture is the one typical of Italian artisan gelato: soft, velvety and melting on the palate. The cassata shape, inspired by the classic Sicilian dessert reinterpreted as ice cream, delivers a rich and striking dessert that wins the customer over instantly.
- Main flavour: intense, creamy chocolate
- Texture: soft ice cream, melting in the mouth
- Presentation: single-portion cassata shape, elegant on the plate
- Result: finished dessert, no preparation required
120 g single-portion format: perfect portioning
The 120 g single-portion format is the great strength of this product for food service. Each piece is a pre-defined single portion that eliminates waste, scraps and variability in the result. For the restaurateur this means full control over food cost: every dessert served has the same weight, the same appearance and the same cost. The 12-piece carton allows for optimal stock management, taking from the freezer only the portions needed and leaving the rest intact.
- Portion weight: 120 g
- Pieces per carton: 12
- Benefit: standard portioning, predictable food cost
- Management: single-piece picking, zero waste
