Debra John — January 27, 2025 — Lifestyle
Häagen-Dazs debuts its 'Belgian Waffle Cones,' blending a crisp waffle cone with smooth ice cream to create a multi-textured experience. Inspired by classic ice cream parlor cones, each variety is designed to deliver a balance of flavors and textures, concluding with a layer of caramel, fudge, or raspberry sauce for a finishing touch.
The Belgian Waffle Cones come in four flavors. First, 'Toasted Almond Fudge' pairs Madagascar vanilla ice cream with toasted almonds and milk chocolate curls, ending with fudge sauce. Meanwhile, 'Vanilla Salted Caramel' combines vanilla ice cream with salted caramel pieces and milk chocolate curls, finished with caramel sauce. For a fruity option, 'Summer Berry' features strawberry ice cream with white and milk chocolate curls, concluding with raspberry sauce. Lastly, 'Triple Chocolate Fudge' includes Belgian chocolate ice cream, dark and milk chocolate curls, and fudge sauce.
Furthermore, Häagen-Dazs introduced two ice cream bars: 'Salted Caramel Macadamia,' featuring sweet cream ice cream, caramel swirls, and macadamia pieces, and 'New York Strawberry Cheesecake.'
