Review: Haagen-Dazs Butter Cookie Cones

Haagen-Dazs was a staple in my home, however I at all times freaked out as a result of it was Rum Raisin. However that is what my mother cherished, and that is what we received!

Many years later, I normally have Haagen-Dazs vanilla milk, chocolate, and almond ice cream bars stocked in my freezer. It jogs my memory of a drumstick, however fancy and and not using a cone. I am sharing my journey with Haagen-Dazs as a result of it completely influences what I considered their new Butter Cookie Cones.

This progressive foray into frozen is commendable, particularly since Haagen-Dazs launched not one, not two, however 4 flavors out of the gate. However at $8.99 for a field of 4, it will not change your standard bars.

Which 4 flavors you ask? My 8 12 months outdated self was so glad there was no model of Rum Raisin. The “Butter Cookie Cone Assortment” (Häagen-Dazs’ candy phrases, not mine) consists of the next:

chocolate: Chocolate ice cream and chocolate fudge sauce topped with chocolate curls and cookies.

the strawberry: Strawberry ice cream and raspberry sauce, coated with white chocolate and cookies items.

espresso: Espresso ice cream and espresso fudge sauce topped with roasted almonds and cookie items.

Vanilla: Vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce topped with chocolate curls and cookies.

Nibbling into the luxurious curls and reduce jogged my memory of how a lot I get pleasure from consuming Talenti Gelato Layers. Just like the layers, the wealthy and creamy ice cream was a pleasant backdrop for all of the added pops of texture and taste from the toppings and cones.

Talking of the flowery cone, it had the form of a non-toasted Pop-Tarts pastry golden butter cookie. Not like the Pop-Tarts, although, it was thicker and did not have the identical crumbly nature. He had extra snap than antics. I can chew into it simply, however I discovered it to be plain tasting. Most of its taste got here from the liner of chocolate that went right down to the underside of the cone, probably to assist forestall crystallization, like a drumstick. Though the cone was a bit flat, essentially the most scrumptious bites of all of the flavors ended up being the tip/finish of the cone.

I used to be additionally pleasantly shocked that the sauces have been infused within the center. So, midway by way of biting into the ice cream, I received both chocolate fudge, raspberry sauce, espresso fudge, or caramel sauce, which added one other layer to the consuming expertise.

The vanilla taste was like consuming a Drumstick with a glow. It was not boring with the caramel sauce within the center and the biscuit items! I normally order vanilla from ice cream retailers as a result of you may’t conceal behind impurities, and if a spot has good vanilla ice cream, it is legit! So whereas I could not affirm to my style that this was made with Madagascar vanilla, it was easy and splendid, which signifies top quality to me!

I examined the identical high quality with milk chocolate ice cream. Additionally, whereas the chocolate-lined cone had a chocolate base with chocolate fudge sauce and chocolate curls, they have been various shades of cocoa, so it did not fairly style like a single notice. The totally different depths of chocolate and textures of the toppings made issues attention-grabbing.

My favourite was strawberry. The style of the raspberry sauce and candy strawberry ice cream actually mimicked contemporary crimson raspberries. With the buttercream cone added into the combination, it was like consuming a strawberry shortcake (with a contact of milk chocolate from the cone).

I had the espresso one final time as a result of I did not need it to overwhelm my style buds and make the opposite flavors style muggy. However it was extra like a latte with cream and sugar as a substitute of straight espresso, so my preliminary nervousness wasn’t a difficulty. This was the one taste with nuts, however whereas it was clearly almonds, they ate like peanuts as a result of they have been much less crunchy than I anticipated. The espresso dessert was a reasonably decadent contact and introduced out extra of the espresso taste.

On the again of their packaging it reads, “Deliciousness in contrast to something you have ever tasted.” It was actually excessive, however at $8.99 a field? The jury is out on that one, however it positive piqued my curiosity. If Haagen-Dazs sells some particular person cones out within the wild, I am going to get one other, however I do not need these packing containers taking over treasured ice cream bar area in my freezer!
