MasterChef Australia and Coles are bringing two dishes from this season’s Aussie Classics week directly to supermarket freezers, with Hannah Johnson’s Cheeseburger Pie and Pat McGarry’s Salted Caramel & Bickie Crumble Ice Cream landing in selected Coles stores from Monday, 9 June 2026.
The products stem from a Mystery Box challenge during MasterChef Australia’s Aussie Classics week, in which celebrity chef Curtis Stone tasked contestants with creating their own version of a pie or ice cream.
Johnson and McGarry each won immunity from elimination – and, as part of the partnership between Paramount Australia and Coles, a limited-edition product run in the retailer’s freezer aisle.

From screen to shelf
“It feels pretty amazing to have won this challenge and to have a product that I created on the shelves of Coles,” said Johnson.
“I’m excited to actually see it in there. I think that’s when it’ll really hit me. I hope my kids like it just as much as the judges did!”
McGarry, meanwhile, said the moment still felt unreal.
“It feels completely surreal for my ice cream to be on the shelves at Coles. To think that my family, friends and even strangers will be seeing my face on the tubs of ice cream boggles my mind. I cannot wait to take my little Frankie in the store for her to see.”
Carmel Horvath, head of sponsorships and events at Coles, pointed to last season’s sell-out as context for the expanded offering.
“Last season’s limited-edition MasterChef ice cream sold out in just three days, so we’re excited to bring not one, but two winning creations from the MasterChef kitchen to our freezer aisle,” she said.
“Hannah’s Cheeseburger Pie and Pat’s Salted Caramel & Bickie Crumble Ice Cream are packed with flavour and fun, and we can’t wait for customers to try them for themselves.”

A growing partnership
Tamar Hovagimian, director of national advertising partnerships at Paramount Australia, said the collaboration had grown in ambition across its run.
“After 18 seasons, we wanted to up the ante and offer consumers a complete meal experience direct from the MasterChef kitchen – Hannah’s Pie and Pat’s Ice Cream,” she said.
Marty Benson, director of content at Endemol Shine Australia, said the fourth year of the Coles partnership brought a new dimension.
“Seeing two contestants have the honour and thrill of having their products on shelves at Coles doubles the joy,” he said, “and we just love that Aussie families can have dinner and dessert sorted in an instant.”
Both products are available in selected Coles stores nationally from Monday, 9 June 2026, for a limited time while stocks last.
They are not available through Coles Online.
MasterChef Australia airs Sundays at 7 pm and Monday to Wednesday at 7:30 pm on 10, and streams on 10.
