Haagen-Dazs is one of those gluttonous treats that I can’t have around all of the time – too dangerous! But when I heard that they had a new line, Haagen-Dazs Five, I was intrigued and felt it was my obligation as a food blogger to review it (really, that’s the only reason I bought some…
). This new line of ice cream features several flavors, each with only five ingredients each – sugar, cream, eggs, milk, and a natural flavor. The flavors currently available are mint, vanilla bean, milk chocolate, brown sugar, ginger, coffee, and passion fruit. Besides being all-natural, Haagen-Dazs is marketing this ice cream as being lower in fat than their regular ice cream.
I don’t like the idea of chemical additives in my food, and many of my favorite ice cream stands haven’t opened for the season, so the Five line is a great opportunity to indulge – naturally. I bought the Brown Sugar flavor and it seems creamier than a typical pint of store-bought ice cream. In addition, it has a rich flavor that tastes like molasses and caramelized sugar. You’ll need a sweet tooth to enjoy this flavor as it is very sweet, but it is delectable and the next best thing to my favorite ice cream stand’s home-made offerings. You’ll scream for this ice cream!
