Chocolate Guinea Pig
Did I say guinea pig? For chocolate? Absolutely! Tonight I tried one of the new varieties of Haagen Dazs - 'dutch chocolate'. Now, unlike your usual Haagen Dazs, this is part of their new line of "light" ice creams. Unlike usual light ice cream, this stuff stayed true to its bloodline and sported just 6 ingredients, and not a one of them was "guar gum" or "polyhooha anything". To make the change all that was done was a tipping of the ratio of cream to skim milk, making the latter much more voluminous than the former.
Taste? Very good. I would call it at least twice as good as your standard Dreyers stuff, and many more times as good as any other light ice cream. Not overly sweet - note that the sugar content was NOT raised to account for the lowered fat (there are slightly more carb grams, but that seems to come from milk sugars, not added sugar). Overall, this is a great middle of the road for those tempted to shell out the high $$ for Haagen Dazs frozen yogurt, which IS overly sweet and just not a necessary part of their lineup. Now, that all being said, this IS Haagen Dazs we are talking about, so now that I've tried the light concoction I don't feel any need to continue. Back to Rum Raisin I will skip.... after I shake the lactose coma I'm about to lapse into. Bleah. This guinea will wait at least a few days for the next pig(out).
