Harry Styles has an ice cream named after him following 'thoughtful gesture'

Harry Styles fans have delivered after the singer treated his supporters to free ice cream to thank them for showing up for his Wembley residency last month.

After the ‘As It Was’ singer offered two scoops of ice cream each to fans at a newly opened Marylebone gelato parlour, Sticks & Cones, he got a gift of his own. The parlour, founded by Petra Tanos, a Marylebone woman who wished to create a safe space for hers and other children to enjoy quality ice cream, wanted to thank back Styles for picking her shop for his free ice cream initiative.

"Yep... that sign some of you spotted on our door was real 👀 2 scoops. On HARRY STYLES,” Sticks & Cones wrote on Instagram to announce a new sorbet named after the former One Director member — and the flavour is pretty easy to guess.

"Last Sunday, to thank London for such a warm welcome during his tour, THE @harrystyles treated the neighbourhood to Sticks & Cones. We feel incredibly lucky to have been chosen to make it happen. It inspired our latest hit flavour, Watermelon Sugar Sorbet," the continued, in a nod to Styles' 2019 hit song, 'Watermelon Sugar'.

Meanwhile, the shop is gearing up to celebrate this year’s National Ice Cream Day this Sunday, 19 July.

Alongside Styles’ Watermelon Sugar Sorbet, customers can have a taste of Sticks & Cones’ signature gelato flavours, including specials introduced weekly, with Grown Up Vanilla, Mint Stracciatella, and Blue Moon ice cream — aka fior di latte ice cream with a touch of blue spirulina — among the choices. Tiramisù is another popular option at the parlour, made with chunks of Italian savoiardi dipped in coffee and swirled with mascarpone.

The shop also sells ice lollies inspired by Latin American paletas, offering flavours like pineapple yuzu cardamom and lychee raspberry rose, as well as also serving coffee from East London coffee roaster Climpson & Sons.

"We make everything from scratch, properly – no shortcuts, no artificial anything.

"Sticks & Cones is for friends, families and visitors – anyone in Marylebone who appreciates a really good scoop, in a warm and friendly setting.”

Meanwhile, watermelon appears to be the protagonist of the summer when it comes to ice cream.

After a quick ice cream hack went viral on TikTok, people have been trying the two-ingredient ice cream recipe that ‘requires zero actual effort’.

Made just with watermelon and milk, steering clear of added sugars of preservatives, the trick is to scrape out the frozen watermelon using a spoon and mixing it with the milk directly to create a creamy consistency.
