Just ahead of the summer months, Häagen-Dazs is introducing two new limited edition ice cream flavors to its lineup, including 'Midnight Cookies & Cream Ice Cream' and 'Banana Split Ice Cream.' The Banana Split flavor is made up from a mix of whipped cream ice cream, banana ice cream, chunks of strawberry, cherries and fudge ribbons, which does sound like everything you'd need to make a pretty good banana sundae.
In addition to these two limited flavors, there's also a new limited edition ice cream bar, Pomegranate Dark Chocolate, which sounds equally as delicious. These limited flavors are joining Häagen-Dazs' other seasonal summer flavors like Bourbon Pecan Praline and Peanut Butter Pie, which will be available until September.
