Introduction
In our Ice Cream Making Challlenge you are the new owners of an ice cream shop in a prime location, working as a team you must make your own flavours of ice cream or sorbet from raw ingredients and produce a new range of amazing ice creams to eat in or take away. We will bring all the expertise, ice cream machines and even some dry ice for the theatrical side of ice cream making! Could you be the next Benny and Jerry's or Hagen Daaz in our Sundae School ice cream making challenge
Event Outline
Your guests will arrive to a warm welcome from our Ice cream making team, your event host will divide the group in to sub teams, and give introductions to the chefs & assistants and a summary about the challenge ahead.
We will begin with a warm up team exercise to engage the group in the activity, this will be followed by health and safety and some housekeeping from your event host, who will then hand over to the chef(s) for a demonstration on to make fresh ice cream and sorbets. This includes custard making, cooling, churning, flavours & textures and use of the ice cream machines and the use of dry ice (depending on venue consent and availability). Teams will also have to make some chocolate toppers and “tuille” baskets or ice cream cones.
The teams will then have to create a unique ice cream which is marketable for in house and as a take away option, we will provide a vast range of flavours, fruits, toppings, drizzles and an array of sundae glasses to inspire the group. In addition to creating and making a unique ice cream dish, the teams will also have to produce a branded menu board.
Finally the teams will present their Ice Cream creations to the group, with the chef and event manager casting their final vote to the winning team. Judging criteria will be based on taste and texture, teamwork, concept and branding.
