Steven ter Horst Chocolatier crowdfunds for icecream machine

Steven ter Horst, Adelaide’s star chocolatier, is tonight launching a crowdfunding campaign to add icecream to his repertoire. As with Burger Theory‘s frozen custard saga, the trouble with icecream is getting the appropriate equipment. Ter Horst is raising funds to purchase a Carpigiani Italian ice-cream maker, one of the world’s greatest machines. Ter Horst is known for his adventurous flavours and ability to take savoury ingredients into sweets for a luxurious experience. Flavours for his block chocolate include ‘blood orange and crepe crumbs’, ‘banana and pepper’ and ‘caramelised cocoa nibs’. If you think they sound exotic, wait til you see – or taste – the result. For instance, this majestic creation is ‘fruit and nut’. The rewards ter Horst is offering are pretty delicious: the recipe for his devilish brownies, $10; a chocolate collection, $80; an intimate chocolate-making masterclass, $180. For $5,000 chocolatey clams, Steven ter Horst will cater a dessert party at your house for up to 75 people. Find the Pozible campaign here. Steven ter Horst will be kicking off the crowdfunding with a party tonight at his chocolate shop and cafe on Rundle St. Some of the flavours and concepts will be previewed at the launch. Join the celebrations at 256 Rundle St from 6pm tonight. steventerhorst.com.au
