It’s chocolate mania this October with Magnum’s collab with the popular Tigerlily Patisserie in Joo Chiat. Three limited-edition Magnum-inspired desserts will be available for pre-order from Saturday (Oct 1).

To celebrate the launch of its new Magnum Cookie Mix, Magnum has joined hands with Tigerlily to bring the rich flavours of Magnum to dessert lovers.

First up is the Magnum Croissantwich.

A flaky elevation of the old-school roadside ice-cream sandwich, the Magnum Croissantwich wedges Magnum’s new White Chocolate & Cookies slab between a U-shaped croissant. It’s topped with chocolate sauce.

The next contender is the Cookies & Cremeux. 

Referencing the classic creamy insides and crunchy chocolatey outsides of Magnum, the base features cookie-chocolate cremeux encased in vanilla mousse and salted chocolate feuilletine. 

It’s topped with a whipped chocolate-chip ganache, with a hidden brownie centre for the perfect contrast.

The last goodie is the Magnum Cookie Melt, an imaginative take on “ice-cream swordplay”, where a stick of Magnum’s Chocolate & Crunchy Cookies is shoved into a chocolate-chip cookie mound. 

The cookie is freshly toasted for an oozy, milky and chocolatey bite. 

Taken together, it’s a truly decadent feast of sweetness. Out of the three, HungryGoWhere enjoyed the Cookies & Cremeux the most. It was thoughtfully crafted and appeared to be a deconstructed version of a Magnum ice cream.

Speaking at a media event on Friday, Maxine Ngooi, Tigerlily’s co-owner and executive chef, said the tie-up was an exciting challenge for the team, especially as the patisserie doesn’t typically serve ice cream.

“We know that Magnum is all about seeking true pleasure and we really resonated with that idea of seeking true pleasure in our desserts,” she said.

The tie-up comes as Magnum earlier this week launched its Magnum Cookie Mix, which includes both the Magnum Mini Chocolate & Crunchy Cookies and the Magnum Mini White Chocolate & Cookies.

From Saturday, customers can pre-order the limited-edition bundle via Tigerlily’s online store on a first-come, first-served basis. This bundle (S$28) includes a box of Magnum Cookie Mix ice cream, one Magnum Croissantwich, one Cookies & Cremeux and one Magnum Cookie Melt.

Separately, you can get the Magnum Croissantwich (S$8), Magnum Cookie Melt (S$8) and Cookies & Cremeux (S$12) a la carte.

The pre-ordered sets and a la carte orders are available for dine-in or takeaways at Tigerlily’s cafe from Oct 4 to 18 as well.
