Laura Sharrad’s Sticky Date Ice Cream Hits Coles Shelves After MasterChef Win
So, guess what’s landed in Coles and is already creating a buzz among dessert lovers? Laura Sharrad, one of MasterChef Australia’s returning stars for the Back to Win 2025 season, has taken home the prize in one of the show’s most iconic and high-stakes challenges – the Coles ice cream challenge. And now, her winning creation, a decadent Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce ice cream, is officially available for purchase nationwide.
If you’ve been following MasterChef this season, you’ll know how big of a deal this challenge is. Eleven contestants were asked to reimagine their favourite winter comfort food as an ice cream. The winner wouldn’t just gain immunity in the competition – their ice cream would also be produced and sold in Coles supermarkets across the country. That’s right, actual shelf space in a national grocery chain. Laura immediately knew what she wanted to create. For her, the nostalgia of her mum’s sticky date pudding was the perfect inspiration.
“When they said ‘winter warmers’, I just knew – sticky date pudding had to be it,” Laura said during the episode. She painted a scene we could all relate to – post-roast dinner, a couch, a bottle of red wine, and a rich, warm dessert. And let’s be honest, who can resist butterscotch and caramel notes swirled into a creamy dessert? That classic flavour combo, mixed with her culinary creativity, won the judges over in a heartbeat.

Laura’s enthusiasm about this challenge was infectious. She’s seen past winners like Rue and Sumeet go through the same process with their sauces and products, and she knew just how rare and valuable the opportunity was. This isn’t just another cooking challenge – it’s a genuine commercial launchpad. As she put it, “People spend years trying to develop and get products into supermarkets. For us, this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment.”
And now, fans finally have the chance to taste what the judges did – something you rarely get with TV cooking competitions. You don’t need to travel to Adelaide to visit Laura’s restaurant. You can just head down to your local Coles and pick up a tub. It’s such a cool bridge between what we see on screen and real life. Laura even joked that this might kick off her “ice cream era” – and honestly, we’re here for it.
What’s more, this is the kind of creative success story that reminds us why MasterChef continues to resonate with audiences. It’s not just about impressing the judges – it’s about launching dreams, inspiring foodies, and bringing inventive dishes to our own tables.
So, don’t wait too long – Laura’s Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce ice cream is only available for a limited time at Coles from Thursday, June 26. Grab it while you can and experience a spoonful of MasterChef magic right from your freezer.
