Canadian consumers were recently graced with a new Häagen-Dazs flavor, which combines notes of vanilla and caramel with rum. In addition to these flavors, the ice cream comes with chunks of blondie, a brownie-like dessert that uses vanilla instead of cocoa.
The new flavor is a part of a larger line called Häagen-Dazs Spirits, which also includes four other flavors called 'Whiskey Chocolate Truffle,' 'Vodka Key Lime Pie,' 'Rum Ginger Cookie,' and 'Irish Cream Coffee & Biscotti.' All of the flavors are infused with real alcohol, however the ABV is less than 1%, making them safe to consume at any time.
Although the new Häagen-Dazs flavors are currently only available throughout Canada, they can be ordered online through Tipsy Scoop, or purchased at the brand's physical store in New York City.
