In news that none of us had on our bingo cards for 2023, the iconic songstress Cher has gone and released a gelato range and the name is, wait for it, Cherlato.

The undisputed mum of Instagram took to her platform over the weekend to announce to fans that after five years in the making, she would be launching her new gelato company.

“Yep, this is real … I’m launching my gelato … Watch out LA! All started five years ago, and now it’s finally HAPPENING. More to come,” Cher wrote in the caption of the video post. 

The comments section of the post is worth its weight in gold, as followers flocked to suggest gelato flavours. “Featuring such [flavours] as: Ginseng, Tramps, and Thieves— If I Could Turn Back Lime — Dark Chocolate Lady,” one commenter wrote. “[Flavours] had better be based on song titles! ‘I Got Ube Babe,’ ‘Believe in Life After Rum,’ ‘The Scoop Scoop Song (It’s in His Hershey’s Kiss’).’

The video itself offers some hints as to what exactly Cherlato is, with a vibrantly coloured ice cream truck dotted with images of Cher licking a gelato scoop, while her 1998 track ‘Believe’ blasts over the top. We don’t know about you but the idea of a bunch of club-goers chasing a Cher ice cream truck down Sunset Boulevarde is such wholesome fun and we demand our own Cherlato truck ASAP.
