Best Hokey Pokey & Real Fruit Ice Cream
in Auckland
Hokey Pokey is New Zealand’s most iconic ice cream flavor, consisting of vanilla ice cream with small, crunchy lumps of honeycomb toffee. Parallel to this is Real Fruit Ice Cream, a summer ritual where fresh berries are blended into vanilla ice cream using a specialized machine. The defining characteristic of both is the absolute freshness of the ingredients used. The trap is buying ice cream with artificial flavoring syrups instead of real, crushed fruit pieces. Expect to pay a few dollars more for the hand-crafted artisanal versions at specialist shops.
