Introduction

Maori Mud Cake
Maori Mud Cake is a New Zealand dessert that has been around for over 100 years. It’s made from chocolate and caramel, and can be found in grocery stores across the country. The traditional recipe calls for brown sugar, butter, flour, and eggs. Variations include using coconut cream instead of butter, adding nuts or fruit to the batter before baking it in a cake tin at 350°F for 30 minutes until golden brown on top or cooked through in the center (the last one depends on whether you’re making this as an after-dinner treat or as a breakfast item).
To make Maori Mud Cake at home:
- In a bowl mix together half cup butter and 1 cup brown sugar until creamy but not fluffy. Add half cup flour followed by 2 eggs one at time while mixing thoroughly between each addition; blend well to get rid of any lumps!
- Pour mixture into greased 9×9 pan then place pan into preheated oven set at 350 degrees Fahrenheit; cook until top turns golden brown (about 30 minutes). Let cool before cutting into squares like regular cakes would be sliced up with knife/utensil when done cooking).
The Pavlova
The pavlova is a light, crisp dessert made with meringue. The name comes from the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, who performed in New Zealand during their 1911 tour. It’s not completely clear why this dessert was named after her, but some believe that it was because she did ballet on stage wearing a white tutu—the same color as the meringue topping for this cake.
When making pavlova, you’ll need to whip egg whites until peaks form and then add sugar gradually while still whipping at high speed. Once all the sugar has been incorporated into the egg whites, fold in cornstarch (or whatever else you’re using) and bake at 200 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown on top (about 90 minutes). The resulting «flat» is crispy on top and soft underneath with a slight marshmallowy texture that makes cutting through it enjoyable rather than frustrating like some other types of cakes can be!
There are actually many different versions of pavlova: some use whipped cream instead of marshmallows or whipped cream together with chocolate chips; others add fruit such as kiwis or strawberries; others use caramel sauce for an extra sweet kick!
Lolly Cake (Hokey Pokey)
If you’re a fan of coconut, condensed milk and chocolate, then the lolly cake is for you. The lolly cake originated in the 1980s and has since become a Kiwi classic. It’s easy to make (you can even make it without an oven) and can be served warm or cold.
Here’s how to do it:
- Bake your favorite sponge cake recipe until golden brown on top. Cool completely before cutting into rounds using a cookie cutter or glass jar ring lid as guide; reserve leftover scraps for snacking later!
- Spread with buttercream icing (or cream cheese frosting if you prefer) onto each slice of cooled sponge base; spread thinly so that it doesn’t drip over the edges too much when placed back together later on top of another layer later down below…but thick enough so that there aren’t any cracks! And don’t forget – if possible try not use all those delicious fat-free options out there these days because they won’t give your desserts nearly enough flavor power needed when cooking up something delicious like this one here now today…
Chocolate Fish
Chocolate fish are a type of candy that is made from coconut and chocolate. They’re very popular in New Zealand, and at Christmas time they’re especially beloved by children. The name «chocolate fish» comes from the fact that these treats are shaped like little fish, but they tend to look more like sharks than actual fish because they have sharp teeth (which can be dangerous).
Kiwifruit Crumble
Kiwifruit Crumble is a dessert made with kiwifruit, sugar and flour. It is often served warm with ice cream, or chilled as a pudding. The dish has a crunchy texture and sweet taste.
It’s easy to make this delicious dessert at home! You’ll need:
- 1 cup of flour
- 2 cups of brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter (or margarine) melted in the microwave for 30 seconds on high power
- 2 kiwifruit sliced into small pieces (optional)
Lemon and Lime Cheesecake Cups
This recipe for lemon and lime cheesecake cups is a perfect dessert for any time of the year. Cheesecake is a type of baked custard made from cream cheese, sour cream and gelatin. The New Zealand version differs from its American counterpart in that it’s not baked in a springform pan but instead served as individual portions, which makes it easier and faster to make. If you’re looking for easy desserts, then this recipe will be perfect for you!
Sponge Toffee (Hokey Pokey)
Sponge Toffee is a traditional New Zealand dessert that’s made with sponge cake, toffee and butter icing. The name comes from its appearance: it looks like hokey pokey, a popular Kiwi treat. This sweet treat is delicious served on its own or with ice cream or whipped cream. You can also try it in these fun ways!
- Chocolate chip covered sponge toffee
- Add strawberries and cream to your chocolate chips for an extra-special treat
- Try making this recipe using different flavors of cake mix!
Pineapple Lump Donuts
Pineapple Lump Donuts
You’ll find pineapple lump donuts in many bakeries throughout New Zealand. They’re made by frying a pineapple ring in the shape of a donut and then topping it with chopped coconut and sugar. Pineapple lump donuts are commonly served as a dessert or snack food, but they can also be eaten for breakfast!
Choco Pie
Choco Pies are another popular dessert that originated in New Zealand. They’re basically chocolate pies with a chocolate biscuit base and can be purchased at supermarkets across the country. Chocoholics everywhere will love these treats!
If you find yourself in New Zealand, I highly recommend getting some Choco Pies and pairing them with ice cream. It’s a match made in heaven!
