Small-batch ice cream from Wellington
Wooden Spoon Boutique Freezery has been hand-making ice cream in Wellington, New Zealand since 2011. We cook our custards from scratch with organic NZ milk and cream, make our own mix-ins, and keep a dairy-free range made with oat milk.

Made by hand, in small batches
Most ice cream starts as a ready-made mix poured into a machine. Ours starts as a custard cooked on the stove, cooled, aged and then slow-churned. The caramel in Smokey Pokey, the hokey pokey pieces, the chocolate slivers in Mint Chip: we make those too. See how our ice cream is made.
Along the way we have picked up a few awards, including a 2017 Cuisine Artisan Award for Movie Night and Supreme Champion at the 2019 Outstanding NZ Food Producer Awards for Blackcurrant Crunch. Meet the award winners.
