Häagen-Dazs xmas delights and new mint icecream

I was really glad to be invited to the Christmas Haagen Daaz tasting session, which was really special this time, because they had the chocolate fondue and the new mint leaves and chocolate icecream.

For Christmas they have come up with so many enchanting and fairytale like desserts especially the Christmas mushroom house.

This was really nice and there was a scoop of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry icecream as you would normally get in a traditional banana split dessert.

Happy Christmas Tree:

 

There is a take away version of this too!
It was really fun how the scoops of icecream were sandwiched in between two thin pieces of christmas tree shaped chocolates with round holes for the scoops of icecream to protude and it reminds me of a real christmas tree with huge baubles of different colours!
If they had candy strings or something similar to resemble the tinsel then it would look even more like a Christmas tree.

This is the first time I have tried their Creme brulee because usually ice cream is the first thing I come for.
The creme brulee was surprisingly delicious, smooth and velvety too.

Fondue (X'mas Version):
The usual fondue version is the plain 72% melted chocolate but for Christmas they have a piece of snowflake shaped white chocolate on top.

 

 

 

 

The chocolate that was dipped goes hard imediately and I love the way it makes a crunch when you eat it.
It was nice trying practically most of the popular flavours dipped in chocolate, my favourite was the green tea and chocolate.
The fondue was a really fun experience, so enjoy the ice-cream before it melts or it will slip from your fondue forks when you are dipping it in the chocolate.

Mint leaves chocolate ice cream:

 

When I first tried it at the LKF branch I did not know there were real mint leaves in the icecream, but after expert introduction of this icecream at this tasting session I had a proper look and I could see real mint leaves in it as shown on the photo.

 

So far this is my favourite flavour out of the Haagen Daaz range in Hong Kong.
