[Dessert] Andersen's of Denmark Celebrates 30 years of Sharing Happiness in Singapore with New Menu Items

Andersen's of Denmark is a gourmet ice-cream maker that is well known for its delectable ice cream flavours, fluffy Danish waffles and famous ice cream cakes. They uses premium ingredients that are procured across the globe including dairy products from Australia, chocolate from Belgium and flavours from Denmark. In Singapore, there are three Andersen's Ice Cream outlets, one at Jurong Point, one at Nex and the other one at Jewel Changi Airport.

Together with Jessie and Meryl, we visited the outlet at Jewel Changi Airport to try out some of the new menu items launched by Andersen's of Denmark as they celebrates 30 years of sharing happiness in Singapore.

BELGIAN WAFFLES

The all-new and improved Belgian waffle is made using Andersen's tried and tested recipe with authentic Belgian ingredients. The waffles can be customized with a variety of toppings including fruits such as bananas and berries, or confectioneries such as chocolate rice, marshmallows and rainbow sprinkles and a variety of sauces finished off with a scoop of premium Andersen's ice cream in your choice of flavour. We tried the Belgian waffle in two flavours - Mixed Fruits and Black Forest

The Mixed Fruits consist of banana, kiwi, blueberries and strawberries as fruits toppings and chantilly cream on the waffle. Maple Syrup was in a separate saucer by the side so that we can drizzle the amount we want over the waffle. The ice-cream flavours on the waffle are Blueberry and Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. The Blueberry ice cream reminded us of a particular sweet that we used to eat during our childhood. The berries are not too sour and the waffle is crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside.

The Black Forest consist of Strawberries, Blueberries and chantilly cream on the Danish chocolate waffle. Chocolate rice, chocolate syrup and strawberry syrup were drizzled over the waffle. The ice-cream flavour for this were Mocha Almond Fudge and Macadamia Nut. The nuts mixed in the ice cream provides a crunchy feel. I personally prefer this waffle as it has a more cakey texture and I love the combination of the ice cream and toppings.

Danish Inspired Bingsu

Introducing an all-new menu item - Danish Inspired Bingsu. Like all the other items in the menu, the Danish Inspired Bingsu uses premium Danish ice cream, fine ice shavings and a variety of toppings in this traditional Korean dessert. Currently, Anderson's is offering four delectable Bingsu flavours including Mango Blondie, Creamy Cookies, Strawberry Tickles and Triple Chocolate Fantasy.

The Strawberry Tickles is perfect for those who love strawberries. It has strawberries, blue berries, chunks of cheesecakes and strawberry ice cream with the milk shaved ice. The strawberries here is a little sour and contrast to the sweet shaved ice and ice cream.

The Mango Blondie uses fresh mangoes, chunk of cheesecake and the ice cream flavours is Furit of Forest (combination of raspberries and strawberries) on top of the milk shaved ice. This is very refreshing and I love the melt-in-the-mouth experience.

The all NEW Dandy Cups

The all new Dandy Cup comes in a smaller serving cup in a 100ml packaging allowing individual to enjoy their premium ice cream on the go. This is available in addition to the 473ml packaging which is suitable for the entire family to enjoy.

"We're excited to give our customers yet another option to enjoy Andersen's most loved ice cream flavours. The 100ml cup will allow Singaporeans to enjoy our premium creations on the go" - said David Leong, owner of Andersen's Ice Cream in Singapore.

Giving back to our Garden City

Andersen's is well known for their signature ice cream cakes that are available in thirteen unique flavours and three sizes - 500g,1kg and 2kg depending on the design. The Christmas log cake is a festive favourite and is also their best selling items. For every 100 Christmas log cakes sold this year, Andersen's pledges to plant a tree through the Plant a Tree Programme with National Parks Board (Nparks). This is really a good initiatives.

Danish traditions kept alive through CSR programme

This year, Andersen's continue their mission to spread happiness by hosting monthly workshops for the children on the third Sunday of each month. To cultivate good reading habits in children, the workshop feature a storytelling session and a craft workshop and a little dance activity. Participants will also receive a free scoop of ice-cream and some vouchers. This free workshop will only be hosted at Andersen's flagship branch in Jewel.

I brought Rena to attend this workshop together with Jessie's niece Kaelyn, they enjoyed the storytelling of The Little Mermaid based on Danish author Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales.

The free scoop of ice-cream in a cup , even the adults were treated with a free cup! Andersen's keeps Danish traditions alive in their cafes with the cone making machines and their ice cream.

"We hope to keep serving our customers with the quality we're known for. We'll continue sourcing the best ingredients from around the globe to create gourmet blends that speak to our customers' palates and hearts!" - said managing director, David Leong.
