Ginger crunch
New Zealand ginger slice with a crisp short base and warm golden-syrup ginger icing.
About Ginger crunch
Ginger Crunch is a New Zealand slice with a baked ginger base and a warm ginger icing. This profile follows Edmonds' butter version, fixing butter rather than the source's alternative spread.
Ground ginger gives both layers a direct, warming spice, while golden syrup adds caramel depth to the sweet icing. Butter enriches the topping and gives the wheat base a short, biscuit-like flavour.
The slice has a firm golden base beneath a smooth, pale-gold icing layer. It is cut into neat rectangles, with a crisp, crumbly bite below and a denser, slightly yielding finish above.
