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 win a course at Ruth’s acclaimed school and an overnight stay in Edinburgh.
To be in with a chance of winning, entrants must register via the Mövenpick Ice Cream website by 16 June 2014 and submit their innovative recipe by 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 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.
Julia Jones, head of marketing at Mövenpick Ice Cream, said: “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 cannot wait to see what our entrants come up with!”
Made using decadent Swiss cream and the finest naturally sourced ingredients from around the world, the range of Mövenpick Ice Cream flavours include everything from Caramelita and Swiss Chocolate, which were awarded two and one gold star respectively at the Great Taste 2012 Award, to Pistachio and Macadamia.
Each ice cream has a pure flavour that reflects the exceptional quality of Mövenpick; an authentic ice cream that never touches artificial colours or flavours.
