Paradise Found: Häagen-Dazs Peppermint Bark Ice Cream

Better late than never, I finally tracked down the Peppermint Bark ice cream by Häagen-Dazs. I have reason to believe that this dessert may very well be the most perfect ice cream one can ever taste. Assuming you're a fan of peppermint, it simply just doesn't get any better. This ice cream combines white chocolate ice cream and white and dark chocolate pieces of peppermint bark and honestly it is just amazing. I thought that Hä-Dazs' Green Tea ice cream was the best I've ever tried but this is even better. Maybe it's fortunate for me that this limited edition flavor has just ended its run because it would not be good for my cholesterol. If you are lucky and still want to try it, you may very well find it in the grocery store (I found the Green Tea for quite some time after it had supposedly went to Ice Cream Heaven). Give yourself one more taste of the holidays before it's too late.

On The Lookout For Häagen-Dazs' Peppermint Bark

One way you can tell the holidays are coming is when you start seeing peppermint bark candies for sale. I was in Macy's this weekend and saw peppermint bark popcorn and peppermint bark chocolates. Finally this evening, I saw an ad in Gourmet magazine for Peppermint Bark, a new limited edition iced cream by Häagen-Dazs. As soon as I can track this down I will review this intriguing dessert.

Häagen-Dazs Goes Green With Tea Ice Cream

On a recent shopping trip to the market, I tried my "don't look at the ice cream case" manuever but I'm weak. A pint of Häagen-Dazs Green Tea ice cream caught my eye. The packaging is attractive, complete with the "limited edition" label adorning the lid. This product falls under the "must try" category simply based on the fact that it's green tea and made by Haagen-Dazs. I've tried a few green tea ice creams in my day and usually it's not something I go out of my way for because I've always thought them fairly bland. Well let me be among the first to say that this Green Tea ice cream is amazing. It's creamy and the taste of the tea—from Japanese Matcha green tea—really shines through. According to Häagen-Dazs's site, this flavor is the number one selling ice cream for the company in Japan, which is no surprise. This flavor will only be around until August so if you're into a fantastic dessert ice cream, grab a couple of pints of this green wonder. I'd tell you where I found mine but I want it all to myself.
