Hokey Pokey Ice Cream — NZʻs Flavour

Overview

Hokey pokey (honeycomb toffee folded into vanilla ice cream) is the most iconic NZ ice cream flavour. Tip Top (NZʻs dominant ice cream brand) makes the benchmark. The honeycomb is crunchy, buttery, and slightly bitter from the caramelised sugar. In vanilla ice cream, it provides a textural and flavour contrast that is uniquely NZ. Monique Fiso makes a hokey pokey ice cream using manono bark — the native NZ version of the nationʻs favourite flavour.
