Sponsored Review: Haagen Dazs Five Ice Cream

30 Mar, 2009

Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master

Haagen Dazs is synonymous with quality when it comes to frozen delights. So when they approached me to try out their new line of ice cream flavors called Five I was anxious to dig in. Each one of these flavors contain only five pure ingredients. Sure, there are the usual vanilla bean, mint, coffee, and milk chocolate flavors but Haagen Dazs also added some unique flavors like Passion Fruit, Brown Sugar, and Ginger too.

as an FYI: original haagan daz flavors typically only have 5 ingredients as well. for example their original Coffee and 5 Coffee both have the exact same ingredients: milk, cream, sugar, egg yolks, coffee. the others are the same as well. i guess their brilliant idea was to put the same icecream in a different package and hope people will buy it thinking it's different...

oh well, still tastes great. :)

wow greg your damn lucky free icecream!! 7 and haggen daz is like the most expensive icecream must be good to be the frozen food master but great review i would defiantly pick up the mint and chocolate but i can get a 2 liter of breyers for same price as that little tub u had so i cant but breys probably has more then 5 ingredients so its a gamble

We have original Haagen Daaz in Mexico, but it costs the equivalent of about $9 USD per pint. I sure hope the "Five" sub-brand shows up here...I am anxious to try the Mint, even at those outrageous prices.

Greg, once again awesome review. I'd like to try the Brown Sugar. Is the mint, spearmint or peppermint?

BTW, have you tried HD's Special Reserve? OMG, they are to die for, especially the Caramel with "salted choc chunks" the perfect blend of sweet and salty. Only bad thing is that the salt keeps the ice cream a little softer than normal.

To answer people's questions, my contact at Haagen Dazs relayed this,

"To answer your question, the Haagen-Dazs Five series is available nationwide for a suggested retail price of $4.39 per carton, which is the same as other regular Haagen-Dazs products."

Good news--my local supermarket carries Five.

Bad news--all the cartons have tons of frost on them.

The Brown Sugar and Chocolate flavors sound most intriguing. The only one of the flavors you tried that I would avoid is Mint because I loathe mint.

Okay, I'm jealous! Five free tubs of Haagen Daz? What I don't get is ginger. Isn't ginger spicy? So is the ice cream sweet & spicy? I think I'll leave that one in the store.

I hope every frozen food company in the universe is now researching the ways they can get frozen product to North Carolina. u go

Wow, that was so awesome of Haagen to give you all those ice cream tubs! I'm a big ginger fan, but I just can't imagine eating it cold in ice cream... I think I'm going to buy the chocolate when I go shopping today :) Great review!

The ginger flavor is absolutely fantastic. Obviously you have to like the flavor of ginger to appreciate it, but it's fabulously gingery. I think I'm going to try it with some dark chocolate syrup on top since I like chocolate covered ginger.
