As of today, among the Venetian streets and squares, there is a new item on the menu at Gelato Fantasy: vegan crepes, made with buckwheat flour, and consequently also gluten-free. An option for those wanting a sweet and healthy treat, suitable for different dietary requirements.
A simple and natural batter
Our recipe has been designed so that everyone can enjoy it: no milk, no eggs, only buckwheat flour and plant based ingredients. The end product is a soft, thin crepe with authentic flavour, perfect to enjoy at any time of day.
Gluten and lactose free fillings
Our fillings also follow the same philosophy: all are gluten and lactose-free. We have chosen simple, but natural and tasty combinations, in order to offer variety without complications. Here is our new vegan crepes menu:
• With apricot and/ or berries jam.
• With fresh fruit: banana, strawberry, or other seasonal fruits.
• With peanut butter made from roasted and ground peanuts.
• With sugar and lemon, a timeless pairing.
• With sugar and cinnamon, simple but fragrant.
Gluten-free crepes: an inclusive option
Using buckwheat flour was not an arbitrary choice. Besides being gluten-free, it gives a slightly rustic and rich flavour to our crepes, which pairs well with sweet fillings as well as with fresher options. Our goal is to offer a product that is not only suitable for those with intolerances but that also everyone likes.
A new way of enjoying a sweet break in Venice
Our crepes are designed for people looking for a light snack or an unusual dessert. One can savour them while waking along the streets or while taking a break next to Rialto or San Marco. They are also perfect to be shared in good company. Vegan crepes at Gelato Fantasy combine simplicity and variety, becoming an alternative option to traditional sweets.
Where to find them
The new crepes are available at our stores in Castello, Rialto and San Marco, ready for those looking for something different. Alongside our artisan gelato, they represent a new way of interpreting sweetness in Venice.
