HOCKEY POKEY, ICE CREAM OF NEW ZEALAND

ICE CREASM OF NEW ZEALAND
HOKEY POKEY ICE CREAM
Hokey Pokey Ice Cream, a delightful frozen treat from New Zealand, combines vanilla ice cream with crunchy honeycomb caramel toffee.
Known for its kind hospitality, very friendly people, crystal clear blue waters, and lush green mountains, New Zealand has been on my travel list for a while.
It’s been on my husband’s because they shot the breathtaking Lord of the Rings Trilogy there! After watching this absolutely gorgeous video, I know I need to see it in person one day soon.
I would love to spend a few days eating, shopping, and exploring the metro areas of Auckland and Wellington and then off to the countryside to take it ALL in.
What a beautiful world we live in, right? And not to take away from the vast scenery of New Zealand (because really what compares?!), but I heard of a very popular flavor of ice cream in New Zealand called Hokey Pokey.
Pretty much everything I’ve read and what people have said is that it’s a staple flavor at every ice cream shop in New Zealand and it’s something you MUST try when you’re there.
I am one of those people who search for the local favas when traveling, especially sweets! So in honor of New Zealand and my future vacation there (not booked, but fingers crossed!), I decided to make a homemade Hokey Pokey ice cream recipe and OH MY GOODNESS is it AMAZING! It makes you want to do the Hokey Pokey, turn yourself around, and eat more!
The photos don’t even do it justice. It’s a super creamy vanilla-based ice cream that I used from Jeni’s recipe, and it’s mixed in with a homemade honeycomb. The honeycomb creates a delicious, rich caramel taste with a light crunchy texture.
When the honeycomb is mixed into the ice cream, some of it melts and creates the most delicious swirl throughout the ice cream. I really can’t tell you all enough how much you need to make this recipe!
I promise you won’t be disappointed! New Zealand, I’m coming for you and your Hokey Pokey.
