To ice cream superfans, the ideal portion is a pint served with a spoon—no bowl required. That’s how we like to eat all ice cream, but especially Talenti Layers, the five-layer combination of ice cream, cookies, sauces and crumbles that we think of as a sundae in a jar.
Yes, you can scoop it into bowls and share the pint. But as a superfan (and a bit of an ice cream hog), we prefer the first option.
It’s our Top Pick Of The Week.
Insider tip: Sometimes we top the open pint with whipped cream and homemade brandied cherries.
ABOUT TALENTI LAYERS GELATO
The American gelato and sorbetto line, Talenti, was named after Bernardo Buontalenti, a Florentine designer and polymath who is credited with inventing gelato (i.e. ice cream) in the 1500s (here’s the history of ice cream and sorbet).
Talenti first opened as a store-front gelateria in Dallas, Texas in 2003. The quality of the products led to expansion, first under the original owner and then by Unilever, which now owns the brand.

And far beyond Dallas, Talenti is now available nationwide, in 30 luxurious flavors. There are pints, quarts and half-gallons, plus Gelato Pops dipped in chocolate, in eight of Talenti’s best-selling flavors.
Consumers can find Talenti at grocers nationwide, and through The Ice Cream Shop, delivered via DoorDash, GrubHub, Postmates and UberEats.
THE LAUNCH OF TALENTI LAYERS
Talenti Layers was not the first “sundae in a pint.”
Ben & Jerry’s latest launched its line of Core Ice Cream in 2014. It featured sauces running through the center (core) of each pint, with a different flavor vertically surrounding it on each side. The current lineup features nine varieties.
Haagen-Dazs followed in 2017. Crispy bites of rich Belgian chocolate are layered between four horizontal stacks of ice cream, each featuring two flavors. There are currently three varieties.
Talenti Layers launched in 2019, after Talenti saw the consumer demand for even more indulgence than its regular pints.
Each Layers pint has five layers: two different flavors of ice cream plus two layers of crunch (chocolate flakes, cookies, crisps, crumbles, peanut butter cups, pie crusts, pretzels, etc.) and a layer of sauce (caramel, dulce de leche, frosting, fruit sauce, fudge, etc.)
Since its launch, sales of Talenti Layers have grown year over year, with continued growth on the horizon.
And there are 17 different Layers flavors…which have led us to a food fantasy:
A table of all 17 pints and a spoon. If Talenti is listening: We have room in the freezer! And we’re willing to share!

Or, become an archaeologist and “excavate” the pint, layer by layer. There are no rules when it comes to enjoying Talenti Layers.
