The dessert is believed to have been created in honour of the dancer either during or after one of her tours to Australia and New Zealand in the 1920s. The nationality of its creator has been a source of argument between the two nations for many years.

It is a dessert most identified with the summer time, but is eaten all year round in many Australian and New Zealand homes.
