New Zealand Natural Ice Cream Desserts Workshop
Bored with scooping the ice cream from the tub? Why not transform them into some pretty desserts that you can find in the posh restaurants?
Not long ago, I was invited to New Zealand Natural desserts workshop in The Cooking House at Desa Sri Hartamas. Honestly, I have never made desserts from ice cream except eating ice cream from the tub, ice cream with waffles and sandwich the ice cream with the bread (errr, does this count as ice cream desserts?). Well, this gotta be a great opportunity to learn something new, hehe. Here, together with few other bloggers, we learnt to transform New Zealand Natural’s ice cream into special desserts.
Lovely Merkaine from The Cooking House demonstrated the techniques of making desserts before we started to get our hands dirty.
1# Chocolate Delirious Cupcake with Stuffed Ice Cream
Using White Chocolate & Raspberry Ice Cream
Ingredients:
Cupcake:
- Sponge cake mix
- 300g chocolate coating (melted)
Chocolate Ganache:
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 250g chocolate coverture
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
Method:
- Prepare ganache by heating cream over pan and then pour over chocolate coverture.

- Scoop ice cream into balls and freeze.
- Use a knife and remove the middle part of the cupcake.
- Dip ice cream balls into chocolate coating then freeze.
- Once hard enough, place coated ice cream into cupcake and pipe ganache over.

Our master pieces. You can decorate in any way you like, with whipping cream and sprinkle with some coloured sugar.
2# Tiramisu Ice Cream Stack
Using Cookies & Cream Ice Cream
Ingredients:
- 1 pkt of sponge fingers
- 2 cups of Espresso coffee
- 2 cups of whipped cream
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Method:
- Pipe whipped cream on the base of the cup.
- Then place a piece of sponge finger soaked in espresso on top.
- Then top with Cookies & Cream ice-cream.
- Repeat and lastly top with whipped cream.
- Dust with cocoa powder and serve!
Trust me, this is really good. With ONLY New Zealand Natural’s Cookies & Cream Ice Cream and sponge fingers and whipped cream and quality espresso, it tasted like the real tiramisu (without the use of the forever expensive mascarpone cheese). I tried substitute with other brand’s ice cream; but but but, the outcome wasn’t as good and wasn’t as real as the one made from NZN’s Cookies & Cream.
Yum Yum, We both love this tiramisu!
