Ben Ungermann

State: Queensland

Season Nine

After coming in second place in season nine of MasterChef Australia, father of three Ben Ungermann knew he had found his culinary passion. Dubbed the ‘Ice Cream King’ by fans, he soon launched Ungermann Brothers, an ice cream parlour alongside his brother Danny in Ipswich in 2018. The business opened a second parlour on the Gold Coast late last year.

This year Ben has expanded his ice cream empire, opening two parlours in Mumbai, and is working on new and exciting ventures in South Africa.

Ben impressed the judges in Tokyo in Season 9, Episode 47 by creating a beautifully presented Wasabi Ice Cream with Yam Fondants and Nutmeg Biscuit, which earned him a chance to win an Immunity Pin.
