Kapiti Boysenberry Ice Cream
I’m addicted. I crave for it.
I’ve recently discovered Kapiti Boysenberry ice cream from a petrol station that I frequent. She’s hard to describe.
Bite it, the rich milk chocolate coating emits a satisfying snap. The taste of the ice cream kicks in as the chocolate coating melts away, you can’t help but notice how so creamy it is. Emmm…
You’ll taste subtle tangy accent seeping through - a refreshing contrast to the sweet ice cream and chocolate coating. On closer inspection, you’ll find swirls of boysenberry sauce integrated into the ice cream itself.
The experience was so enjoyable that I was hoping every bite won’t be my last. I want more.
FAQ
Where can I get this amazing ice cream?
I think it’s a New Zealand only product, you’ll find it in diary shops or petrol stations. A 6 pack is also available from supermarkets.
How many WeightWatcher points?

Why are there half eaten ice cream pictures in this post? Not cool.
I only want to share half of my ice cream with you.
Pan fried salmon, couscous, and…
Ok, the whole idea of this dish is that there is a hidden poached egg hidden beneath the couscous. On inspection, it’s just pieces of salmon resting on a bed of couscous. Not bad at all, I am sure it’s yum, but yawn…
The moment they spoon up some couscous, the poached egg ruptures! Surprise! Couscous soaks up runny egg yolk, giving it an interesting texture. Pair that up with crispy skin salmon pieces on the side, it really can’t get any better. Savour it.
Here’s How
- Tipiak instant couscous, the tomates herbes de provence flavoured one from supermarkets. Just add hot water and wait for 5 minutes.
- Poached eggs.
- Pan fry salmon peices until skin is crispy. Season well.
- Hide poached eggs under couscous.
I am well chuffed, and it only took 15 minutes to prepare.
