Indulge in Barker's new family favourite Dessert Sauces range

 

It's time to meet the new family favourite range of Barker's New Zealand Dessert Sauces. The range includes three mouth-watering flavours – Rich Chocolate Sauce, Butterscotch Caramel Sauce and Luscious Strawberry Sauce.

 

Proudly produced in the small town of Geraldine at the foothills of the Southern Alps New Zealand, the Dessert Sauces are made to indulge. Head of Innovation and Development at Barker's New Zealand, Kim Whitman, says, "We are excited to launch the Dessert Sauces range that will enhance baking, desserts and treats. We wanted to create delicious Dessert Sauces that everyone can indulge in, without worrying about nasties such as added preservatives, artificial colours or flavours. Using quality ingredients like cocoa and condensed milk for the Rich Chocolate Sauce and real strawberries for the Luscious Strawberry Sauce brings to life the classic flavours that Australian families know and love. These versatile pantry staples are set to become a new favourite for Australians of all ages to enjoy."

 

The Dessert Sauces are premium quality, with a rich, smooth texture. Each delicious flavour comes in a recyclable glass bottle with beautifully hand drawn label illustrations and usage inspiration, from ice cream sundaes to milkshake bases and dessert garnishes.

 

Rich Chocolate Sauce

This classic flavour will satisfy sweet tooths from young to old. The richness of cocoa and condensed milk creates an indulgent sauce, ideal for making a traditional sundae, or as a perfect syrup base for iced or hot chocolate. Don't forget to add the marshmallows!

 

Let your imagination run wild and create your dream dessert. Here are some cheeky ideas:

• The ultimate ice cream sundae
• Crazy chocoholic freakshakes
• Delectable churros, doughnuts or waffles with ice cream on the side
• Hot chocolate pudding

Butterscotch Caramel Sauce

Crafted to delight, the sticky richness of caramelised brown sugar and golden syrup will    transform puddings and is the ideal side dip for churros and baked apples. Warm up this vegan friendly sauce and drizzle over a sweet treat for an after-dinner winner.

 

Bring the whole family together to create a mouth-watering treat that is loads of fun, such as:

• Ice cream tacos or sandwiches
• Family dessert fondue
• DIY milkshake or thickshake station
• Sticky Oat Caramel Slice or pancakes

 

 

Luscious Strawberry Sauce

Made with a generous 45 per cent of real strawberries, the Luscious Strawberry Sauce has big berry chunks reminiscent of summer goodness and is the ideal topping for ice creams and pancakes. Recreate the iconic banana split with a drizzle of sauce and sprinkle chocolate chips on top.

Add a touch of strawberry indulgence to a healthy treat such as:

• Topping for frozen yoghurt
• Homemade smoothies
• Healthy snacks like apple rings
• Fruity breakfast bowls
