Haagen-Dazs Honey Salted Caramel Almond Ice Cream
honey ice cream with almonds and a salted caramel swirl
A well crafted flavor should gel in to one great experience. Despite having salt, caramel, honey and almonds as the four flavor factors, they come together perfectly in one well designed flavor. Unless you specifically aim for the mild honey ice cream base all by itself (which doesn't happen much), you will always get a good amount of caramel flavor.
I could have easily just sat and devoured this free pint but I'm going to try and be good and spread it's excellence out over three servings. Awesome job H-D.
On Second Scoop: My word is this delicious. If you can, I recommend eating this one slowly because I think I enjoyed it even more when I did... that probably sounds silly but I'm just trying to stress how well this one clicks for me. I'm not even a huge almond or honey fan, but it works really well here. I actually noticed the almond flavoring more this time around but the flavor is just so balanced and well rounded (and sweet ofcourse) that I just wanted to keep eating and eating. I hope you get to try this one soon.
Verdict? Delicious
Buy Again? Yes!
I am SO looking forward to trying this one. I bet it would make a great "baklava" sundae if paired with something crispy.
ReplyDeleteI agree, all the big happy words for this one! I'm so glad someone else enjoyed it as much as I did. I love honey, and I think it's cool to see it popping up in ice creams recently
ReplyDeleteFriday night I ate a whole pint. I only meant to taste it but things got a little out of hand! I loved it too. I almost didn’t buy it because it had not been reviewed yet and the description really didn’t wow me. But Publix rarely gets the new stuff quickly so when I saw this one I bought it impulsively.
ReplyDeleteWell, there's something to be said about this flavor, it's excellent. I'll try anything one, two, three times...if it's In-n-Out burger..5 times and I still hate it! With Ice Cream, typically once is all I need. It's either a BUY AGAIN and AGAIN or nah! This is deadly for me and I will buy more. Like I always say, because I like this flavor so much and it's not really a " Mainstream" flasvor, I'm sure it will be discontinued. WOW, the balance of Salty, Sweet, Crunchy is perfect here. A true ten, I can't find one thing to dislike about this flavor.
ReplyDeleteI love this flavor so much every purchased it at least 4 times since its introduction. By far the best Haagen Dazs flavors this year!
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally agree with the other comment, this one is deadly for me.
This is probably the first ice cream I’ve ever tried in my life that I couldn’t put down after a couple of bites. I’m usually the biggest fan of the vanilla Swiss almond, but I can always restrain myself and just have a little bit at one time.
ReplyDeleteWith this new honey almond caramel swirl flavor, I almost went out of my mind. All of the flavors are balanced beautifully but the size and mouth feel of the almonds mixed in with the ice cream is absolutely exquisite. Far and away the most enchanting, scintillating flavor of ice cream I’ve ever had in my entire life. Häagen-Dazs, please do not ever, ever discontinue this magnificent flavor!! 💜
The best flavor I've ever tried!!!!! When our local store has them BOGO (Buy one get one free, I clear the shelves. If you haven't tried this one yet, I highly recommend it!! AMAZING!!! A++++++++
ReplyDeleteIt is so delicious,with that combination of sweet and salty taste. It is definitely my favorite ice cream of all times.
DeleteI just tried it and it is amazingly delicious!!
ReplyDeleteOh my.. I’ve been glancing past this flavor for a while now, but after this review and all the comments will be picking it up today!
