Tangerines & Cream Sundae - Lunar New Year Delight with New Zealand Natural

With Chinese New Year round the corner, most of us look forward to the holidays and for those celebrating; a time for reunions and merry making. As with most festivities, food is always present and we brace ourselves for waistline expansions :o). But of course, no matter what there's always room for desserts - we now have a dessert that is specially created by New Zealand Natural to add to the celebration.

I was invited to the launch of New Zealand Natural's latest creation, Tangerines & Cream Sundae at the recently refurbished outlet and new central location at LG1.70A (Orange Atrium) in Sunway Pyramid.

Durian Divine Ice Cream from New Zealand Natural

Having been invited to launches now and then, I was delighted to receive one from New Zealand Natural to attend the launch of the first premium Durian ice cream in Malaysia ... Durian Divine.  I love ice cream and attending such a launch? Woo Hoo! I love ice cream  Oops! I said that already...

Made with fresh D24 durian flesh blended with its international best-selling Vanilla Classic ice-cream, the creamy Durian Divine definitely lives up to its name; truly divine and bursting with flavour of the "King Of Fruits"

In conjunction with the launch of Durian Divine, New Zealand Natural has created an exclusive Durian Divine Sundae - two scoops of Durian Divine ice cream, served with a range of premium toppings.  It is only available throughout the month of August at RM16.90.

I have always enjoyed New Zealand Natural ice creams as they are not too sweet but spot on for me. With Durian Divine added to the current 25 flavour line up, we can now enjoy Durian Divine (and all the other flavours too) Take Home Packs at 30% off every 30th of the month.  An additional goodie that one can have for breaking fast during this Ramadan month?

New Zealand Natural can be found at Ikano Power Centre, Bangsar village, Suria KLCC, KL Convention Centre, the Curve, AEON Bukit Tinggi, Centro Klang, Sunway Pyramid, The Waterfront at Desa Parkcity and up north in Penang at Queensbay Mall and Sunway Carnival.  Check out New Zealand Natural's website for more info.

The weekend's coming, have a divine one!

The Cooking House - New Zealand Natural Ice Cream Dessert Workshop, Part 2

After Part 1 of Chef Lee's lessons on biscuits and cake, he moved on to my favourite part - Desserts! It would seemed that ice-cream cakes are relatively easy to make! Best thing is that we can make one with our own favourite flavour and whatever brand we like. For this lesson, Chef Lee used New Zealand Natural's Ice Cream. Made me felt like whipping one up the moment I left that place...however, the key word here is "felt", hahaha...so, I guess I will just be "feeling" for a while longer!

You'll need a ring for this one....Walnut Butterscotch Surprise / Mango Heaven.
Flavours used Walnut Butterscotch / Mango Sorbet and Mango Passion.

Recipe for Mango Heaven

Create first layer with Japonaise biscuit disc
Then 70g New Zealand Natural's Mango Passion
Then another Japonaise biscuit disc
and lastly 25g of New Zealand Natural's Mango Sorbet

I love Mango Heaven the most amongst the rest as it wasn't as sweet as the others (offset by the sourness of the Sorbet.

The Cooking House - New Zealand Natural Ice Cream Dessert Workshop, Part 1

A group of us had responded to an invitation extended to us by Babe_KL - to attend a baking class sponsored by New Zealand Natural Ice Cream. It was an invitation that I could not decline - Baking & Ice Cream plus with other floggers??? Sign me up quick! I look forward to the fun us floggers will have like we always do whenever we gather. Teckiee gave me a ride that Saturday and we were the first few to arrive after meeting up with Simon to lead him to The Cooking House in Desa Sri Hartamas.

Not only do we take notes, but we take photos too! Not being in a strategic place for photo taking, I could only take photos from the side. For more pics, do remember to check out the rest of the floggers.

Though we were there primarily for New Zealand Natural Ice Cream Dessert Workshop, The Cooking House got Chef Lee to take us through two simple recipes : - Chocolate Chiffon Cake and Butterscotch Cookies. After that, we were told to group ourselves and head on to our workstation and try our baking skills. Along with Precious Pea & Babe_KL, we had FBB in our group and we went about our tasks confidently. Errr....but later realised that we had put salt instead of sugar in our Chocolate Chiffon Cake! Horrors!!!!!!! But I must say that our Butterscotch cookies turned out yummy!
