This week, Mövenpick Ice Cream launches its annual Gourmet Dessert Chef of the Year Competition, challenging professional chefs to create an original dessert that showcases its range of luxurious flavours.
Working with 2012 UK World Chocolate Master Ruth Hinks, the winner will receive a luxury two day spa break in Edinburgh, along with an exclusive, one-on-one showpiece course with Ruth at her world class chocolate and pastry school, Cocoa Black. Two runners up will also win a course at Ruth’s acclaimed school and an overnight stay in Edinburgh.
Register to enter
Entrants must register via the Mövenpick Ice Cream website by the 16 June 2014 and submit their innovative recipe by the 7 July 2014. The recipes will then be judged by a panel of industry professionals – including Ruth Hinks and The Langham Hotel’s Cherish Finden – before six finalists are invited to battle it out at the live final on the 25 September 2014.
All recipes must include Mövenpick Ice Cream as a key ingredient and entries will be judged on innovation, well matched flavours, demonstration of culinary skills and artistic merit, as well as suitability for serving in top restaurants and hotels.
Flair, passion and innovation
Julia Jones, Head of Marketing at Mövenpick Ice Cream, says: “Following its success over the past two years, we’re very excited to be launching the third Mövenpick Gourmet Dessert Chef of the Year competition. This year, we’ll be looking for chefs that demonstrate original flair, passion and – above all – an innovative way to serve Mövenpick Ice Cream as part of a dessert. I, for one, cannot wait to see what our entrants come up with!”
