Rant and Rave: Rave—Häagen-Dazs Caramel Cone ice cream—I've eaten my fair share of ice cream, having spent my junior high and high school years about 100 yards from a Thrifty's Drug Store, and I have to say that this may be the best flavor I have ever had. For this new flavor, Häagen-Dazs started with a caramel-flavored ice cream that has a smooth and somewhat mild taste, one that is similar in silkiness to Dulce de Leche. They then added some swirls of caramel—not too much, though, since it already has a good caramel flavor—as well as some chocolate-covered ice cream cone bits. The cone bits are the only imperfection; even though they're covered in chocolate, they still lose most of their crunch. Despite this minor flaw, the ice cream cone is a nice addition, offsetting some of the sweetness of the caramel. Overall, this is a phenomenal ice cream, and one I hope they will continue to produce for a long time. |
