The Kiwi Classic..

Hokey Pokey ice cream is a kiwi classic. Your mission is to innovate and create your own Kiwi Classic ice cream.

Your Ice Cream MUST:

• replace hokey pokey with a kiwi classic ingredient
• be made using the Easy Ice Cream 1 recipe

Easy Ice Cream 1

2 cups (500ml cream
400g can (approx) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pour the cream into a bowl and whip until just stiff, do not over mix.
Fold the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla into the cream.  Spoon into a plastic container, seal with a lid and freeze until firm.

Your kiwi classic recipe MUST involve folding your ingredient into the ice cream spooning into a container to freeze as above.

You MUST:

• Create a Google Slide that has: 

      - a title page

      - provide evidence that your new ingredient is a kiwi              classic and not a kiwi fad

      - provide an easy to follow recipe
