Peter Gordon goes on a taste adventure with Kāpiti Ice cream

Auckland based multi-award-winning chef Peter Gordon embarked on a taste adventure with Kāpiti Ice Cream to celebrate the new Passionfruit and Kāmahi Honey flavour.
A boyhood favourite dessert mixed with childhood memories of the beach looking out to Kāpiti Island inspired Peter to create his distinctive Baked Alaska, exquisitely paired with the new Kāpiti Passionfruit and Kāmahi Honey ice cream. While it’s not a five-minute dessert to make, the components are fairly easy to follow. And you can serve it any time; after a kai moana based lunch, for dinner to impress mates or a date, or you could make small ones and serve for afternoon tea.

It’s set to be the dessert of the summer…
Peter Gordon invites you to experience his showstopping Baked Alaska paired with the quintessentially summer-y Kāpiti Passionfruit and Kāmahi Honey ice cream. The ice cream offers the perfect blend of passionfruit zinginess and smooth kamahi honey, while the yoghurt contained in the ice cream cuts through the richness nicely. The ice cream sits on a macadamia vanilla cake base topped with apple honey puree and finished with torched Italian meringue to create a Baked Alaska that is bursting with flavour.
