Review: It’s like something out of a bad teen movie from the 80s: you taste the pomegranate portion of the treat and it’s like it’s a sweet girl you’d like to get to know better. Then just as you chatting her up gets good–the chocolate shows up, and it turns out it’s her boyfriend. Suddenly that rich pomegranate taste is overwhelmed by chocolate, leaving the taste buds to go home alone and brokenhearted. Next time, Haagen-Dazs, let’s see the pomegranate portion come to the dance solo, huh?
Time: 23 seconds.
I disagree with the reviewer. I love the combination of the chocolate and the pomegranate. I do not eat foods with corn syrup, and this is one of a couple Haagen Dazs Reserve flavors that does not have it.
Meredith: We can agree to disagree on the taste, no problem. I do agree with you, however, that lack of corn syrup makes things better–from a taste perspective if not from a health perspective. So thanks for your comment.
Never saw this in stores. Maybe I didn’t look hard, but Purely Decadent makes a dairy free Pomegranate Chip that is one of my favorites of all time. Those flavors work really well together Can’t believe it’s dairy free.
Best new Haagen-Dazs flavor imo is Bananas Foster. I really hope they make this a regular flavor instead of a limited ed. It pissed me off when stores stopped selling the Green Tea flavor. That used to be my fav. Haagen Dazs flavor until Bananas Foster.
I have to agree with Meredith on this one. The combination of DARK chocolate with the pomegranate was wonderful. Had they used milk chocolate instead, I wouldn’t have been a fan.
I have been searching for this icecream for years. every time I see it I buy it out and stock the freezer. Love it !1
