OAKLAND, Calif., May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Crunchy roasted almonds, tender ripe blackberries, simmered blueberries and fresh peaches set the stage for the Häagen-Dazs brand's newest indulgences. True to the tradition of crafting ice creams made like no other®, the brand has taken diverse cues from at home and abroad to develop one-of-a-kind creations that delight your senses.
"This year we really focused on flavor experiences when looking for inspiration and ideas," said Gulbin Hoeberechts, Haagen-Dazs Brand Director. "A slice of holiday pie, a bite of fresh fruit from the orchard, a visit to the ice cream parlor, a trip to India - all of these led to the creation of our 2011 flavors and new sundae cones."
Perfect for creating unique moments, the following are currently available nationwide:
