"Hallelujah!" was the joyous cry of many Catholics as Pope Francis left Rome's Gemelli hospital on Sunday after a month-long battle with pneumonia. But it wasn’t just a word of relief – it's also the name of a new gelato flavour.

Coinciding with the Pope’s much-anticipated release, Rome saw the debut of "Hallelujah" gelato, a new creation that combines gianduia, a delicious blend of roasted hazelnuts and pure chocolate. The flavour made its first appearance in open-air kiosks in Piazza Risorgimento, just a five-minute stroll from the Vatican, marking a preview of International Handmade Gelato Day and raising funds for homeless projects worldwide.
