Melbourne summer is a little unpredictable.
One day you're complaining about the heat. The next you're sitting outside enjoying a warm evening, wondering why every other season can't be like this.
But one thing's certain.
Summer changes the way we crave dessert.
When the temperature climbs, sometimes you want something cold and refreshing. Other times, you're still thinking about those freshly cooked Hot Ball Doughnuts you promised yourself earlier in the week.
We don't judge either decision.
What Desserts Are Popular During Melbourne's Summer?
Gelato, milkshakes and fruit-inspired desserts are natural choices when Melbourne heats up.
They're refreshing, easy to enjoy with friends and perfect for those afternoons when leaving the air conditioning feels like a personal sacrifice.
But hot desserts don't suddenly lose their appeal.
Freshly cooked churros and Hot Ball Doughnuts still have their place, especially during warm summer evenings when you're out with friends and nobody's ready to head home.
And sometimes, mixing warm desserts with something cold is exactly what you're craving.
The best summer dessert really depends on your mood.
Something for Every Summer Mood
At Drizzl’d in Moonee Ponds, our menu already includes freshly cooked Hot Ball Doughnuts, churros, gelato and milkshakes.
Whether you're looking for dessert after dinner, catching up with friends or simply rewarding yourself after a long day, there's no shortage of excuses.
We've always believed that freshly made desserts are worth waiting for.
That philosophy isn't changing.
But we've also been thinking about what else belongs on the table during Melbourne's warmer months.
Let's just say we've been working on something.
Our favourites aren't going anywhere. We're simply making a little more room.
