🍯 Hokey Pokey Ice Cream Recipe (Classic New Zealand Dessert)

Meta Description (155 characters):
Make authentic New Zealand Hokey Pokey Ice Cream — creamy vanilla ice cream filled with golden honeycomb toffee bits. Sweet, crunchy, and irresistible!

🇳🇿 What Is Hokey Pokey Ice Cream?

Hokey Pokey Ice Cream is one of New Zealand’s most beloved desserts. It features a creamy vanilla base mixed with crunchy honeycomb toffee chunks — locally known as hokey pokey. The combination of smooth ice cream and caramelized crunch makes it a Kiwi classic that’s adored worldwide.

This homemade version is simple, no-churn, and just as delicious as store-bought — perfect for summer days or special treats.

🧂 Ingredients

For the Honeycomb (Hokey Pokey)

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons golden syrup (or honey if unavailable)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

For the Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups heavy cream (or thickened cream)
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

🍯 Instructions

Step 1: Make the Hokey Pokey

  1. In a heavy saucepan, heat sugar and golden syrup over medium heat.
  2. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns golden amber.
  3. Remove from heat and quickly whisk in baking soda — the mixture will foam up.
  4. Pour onto a parchment-lined tray and let it cool until hard.
  5. Break into small crunchy pieces once cooled.

Step 2: Make the Ice Cream

  1. In a large bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  2. In another bowl, combine condensed milk and vanilla extract.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture.

Step 3: Combine and Freeze

  1. Fold in ¾ of the honeycomb pieces (reserve a few for topping).
  2. Pour into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, and sprinkle the rest of the hokey pokey on top.
  3. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.

🍨 Serving Suggestions

  • Scoop into bowls or cones and drizzle with caramel sauce.
  • Pair with chocolate fudge brownies or butter cookies.
  • Garnish with extra honeycomb bits for crunch.

💡 Tips for Perfect Hokey Pokey Ice Cream

  • Don’t stir the sugar once it starts boiling — swirl the pan gently.
  • Crush the honeycomb just before mixing to keep it crunchy.
  • Use golden syrup for authentic New Zealand flavor.

❓ FAQs

1. What does Hokey Pokey taste like?
It has a sweet caramel-toffee flavor with a delightful crunch that melts slightly in creamy vanilla ice cream.

2. Can I make this without condensed milk?
Yes — use a cooked custard base (milk, cream, sugar, egg yolks) for a traditional churned ice cream.

3. How long does it keep?
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. The honeycomb stays crisp when well-sealed.
