Häagen-Dazs is introducing a collection of ruby cacao products like ruby cacao sundaes, dipped bars and cones, sharing a sweet way for consumers to experience the fourth kind of chocolate in something other than a chocolate bar or a beverage. These frozen treats show off the qualities of naturally pink ruby cacao beans, which come from Ecuador, Brazil and the Ivory Coast, including its fresh and fruity flavors.
While the Ruby Cacao Ice Cream Bars share sweet cream ice cream that's been dipped into a coating of ruby cacao, the Ruby Cacao Crackle Pistachio Sweet Cream Trio Crispy Layers balance the berry notes of the chocolate with nutty flavors and textures.
