The latest experimental Häagen-Dazs ice cream flavor to be launched in Japan is one that promises to taste like Honey and Milk, but in a yogurt-inspired style.
The product is made with a milk-based ice cream that boasts a tart yogurt-like taste from the use of heat-sterilized fermented milk. This taste and texture is enhanced with a sweet honey sauce, which pairs well with the sweet-sour flavor combination. Just like a small pot of yogurt, the new Honey and Milk ice cream treat will come in three-ounce cup sizes.
There are plenty of ice cream desserts that take inspiration from decadent treats like layered cakes, banana splits and cookies, but this ice cream ventures into a new category of snacks.
