Anne-Chantal Dupont

Mystère et boule de glace

Lesdain, Belgio

Anne-Chantal Dupont is a Belgian artisan gelato maker and founder of the gelateria Mystère et Boule de Glace, created in 2014 in Lesdain, in Hainaut. After a varied professional life and a busy time as a mother of three, she discovered the world of artisan gelato thanks to a friend, herself a gelato maker. It was with her, and later through training in Belgium, that Anne-Chantal learned the basics of the craft, which gradually became a true passion. Her artisan gelato is much more than a product: at the heart of her work are exchange, sharing and the desire to stir emotions. She favours quality over quantity, works through short supply chains with seasonal produce and keeps intermediaries to a minimum. The gelateria offers ice creams made with raw milk from a nearby farm and sorbets prepared with fresh fruit or carefully selected purées. Her specialities include cuberdon, chicory, “Mystère de l’Alhambra” made with almonds and orange blossom, salted butter caramel, speculoos, caramelised apple, as well as lemon meringue sorbet, Lesdain strawberries and white chocolate. She placed sixth at the 2025 Belgian championships and has won several “Saules d’Or”, awards that recognise the work of the artisans and producers of the Scarpe-Escaut Franco-Belgian regional nature park.
