Haägen-Dazs 5 – Lemon Ice Cream

July 15th, 2010

This is my new favorite store-bought ice cream.  It is really yummy, brightly flavored with lemon, just a little puckery and creamy dreamy.  I have perused the other Haägen-Daz 5 offerings, but the lemon flavor pulled my hand into the freezer like a magnet.

The concept behind Haägen-Daz 5 is that the ice cream is made from only 5 ingredients.  As a former NPD person, I can only imagine how tough it was to bring this ice cream to market.  In the land of fillers, gums, texturizers and artifical flavors, it is refreshing to find this product in the grocery store freezer.  KUDOS Haägen-Daz 5!

If you are a label reader or a whole foods enthusiast, this ice cream fits the bill: Cream, sugar, lemon, skim milk and egg yolks.

It is outstanding straight out of the container but equally delicious with summer berries, a sprinkle of coconut or a drizzle of Chambord.  Which flavor will I try next?  Coffee, of course!
