Whether it’s pretty petal inspired designs and that butter bell everyone’s favourite french cookware brand, Le Creuset, is no stranger to a viral release.

And now, it’s back at it again – this time with a return that leans decidedly fruity.

The much-loved Fruit Cocottes have re-entered the chat. You’ll recognise them: small, glossy stoneware pots shaped like their namesake produce – apples, grapes, berries – the kind of thing that sits somewhere between genuinely useful and dangerously collectable.

This latest release sees the Strawberry and Blueberry cocottes get a subtle refresh, but the real headline is a new addition to the line-up: the Peach.

Even for someone desperately trying to streamline their cookware collection, this one is hard to resist. It’s the missing piece that completes the fruit bowl (and, let’s be honest, will probably be the first to sell out).

They’re made from Le Creuset’s signature stoneware, finished with a chip-resistant glaze and designed to go from oven to table without fuss. 

But what do you actually cook in a fruit-shaped pot, you might ask?

Our pick would be little individual crumbles (here are some of our favourites) or  molten puddings (like these).

Where can you buy the Le Creuset Fruit Cocotte collection?

The Fruit Cocotte collection is available now, in-store and online – arriving just in time for Mother’s Day gifting, or, more realistically, a self-purchase disguised as a present.

The new Peach Cocotte (580ml), and the refreshed Blueberry (480ml) and Strawberry (570ml) designs are all priced at $95.
