New 2015 Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream Christmas Cake & WIN Some Haagen-Dazs!
It’s that time of the year again – when we remember the MOON cake, the CLOUD cake and the VILLAGE cake and we wonder what Haagen-Dazs has in store for us this year. Well, the keen among you will already know that this year’s delight is the extremely YUMMY advent calendar cake.
Häagen-Dazs has been making ice cream like no other since 1961. The founder Ruben Mattus’ vision was to make the best ice cream in the world using high quality, carefully selected ingredients. In recent years, Häagen-Dazs has been celebrating their tradition of craftsmanship and ice cream expertise by delighting the world with exquisite, limited edition Christmas cakes, each one of which is masterfully crafted by the chef pâtissier in Häagen-Dazs’ Paris flagship store on the Champs-Élysées. Yes, your cake will come directly from Paris without having to pay for a Eurostar ticket!
Now in its 8th year, Häagen-Dazs is proud to collaborate with one of the greatest interior designers of our time, Paola Navone, to ensure that 2015’s Christmas cake goes down in memory as one of the most stunning examples of gastronomic design ever seen.
Navone, who is originally from Turin, Italy, but now resides in Paris, is famous around the world for her avant-garde style and attention to nuances of colour and texture. It is for this reason that the partnership with Häagen-Dazs, who are known for their deliciously smooth ice cream and quality ingredients, is so well-matched.
When she proposed her design for an edible advent calendar, she and the Häagen-Dazs pâtissiers had to overcome quite the technical challenge: 31 pillars of ice cream to represent the 31 days from 1st December to New Year’s Eve. What’s more, in order to make it something truly special they agreed on a sumptuous white chocolate coating, velvety base and ice cream hidden inside each pillar. The two pillars that are designed to represent Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve stand above the rest and are covered in either edible gold or edible silver leaf.
The Häagen-Dazs Advent Calendar by Paola Navone comes in two flavours: Dark Chocolate & Almond and Macadamia Nut Brittle & Dulce de Leche. Just 35 cakes will be available in the UK so really – if you want to get my favourite (dark chocolate & almond) you need to be quick.

It’s hard to play favourites – I love the caramelly nutty family so it’s difficult to choose between salted caramel, dulce de leche, macadamia brittle… but then of course there is strawberry cheesecake.
SALTED CARAMEL (no contest for me) *hahaha*
The regular salted caramel or the chocolate salted caramel though?
Regular. I think the chocolate is OK but a bit too rich for me 🙂
I’ve never tried Haagen-Dazs before why? Because it’s always something I can go without even if I don’t want to so it gets knocked off the shopping list
pralines and cream it always reminds me of when i went to the pictures on a friday night and got a big tub of it
salted caramel is a big favourite of mine too
My favourite flavour is Mint leaves and Chocolate – fresh and minty making it refreshing reminds me of summer
Cookie Dough is my absolute favourite, I could eat the whole tub in one sitting and have been known to hide it in the back of the freezer.
such an amazing flavour so creamy and moreish.
I do love Chocolate, but not a friend of nuts, so has to be any chocolate flavour without nuts, but is it possible to choose a favourite? not for me 🙂 xx
Mmmm- just love ice cream.
I love the chocolate salted caramel because it just melts in your mouth and tastes divine!
yummmm now that Coffee is available here- this would be FAB- Cheers! 🙂
p.s. Happy Holidays! :))
I live the Belgian Chocolate one, the taste is amazing although the others are very good too.
I love the flavour HÄAGEN-DAZS COOKIE DOUGH CHIP ICE CREAM, it’s perfect for a movie night.
Cookie dough because it’s so yummy I’ve loved it for years
I like the HÄAGEN-DAZS VANILLA CARAMEL BROWNIE as it is really rich and nice flavour
Salted caramel is so smooth and creamy and makes a great milkshake too
chocolate salted caramel its just the best!!
it has always been cookies with cream for me so yummy
i absolultley love the baileys ice cream
Oh my goodness! They look divine!
I love Haagen-Dazs Macadamia brittle, it’s absolutely delicious! It’s definitely one of my favourites from their range. I particularly like this ice cream because it’s so rich and creamy! Plus I like Macadamia nuts 🙂
I love white chocolate raspberry truffle its so indulgent and I love the tangy taste of the raspberry truffle
I love the salted caramel one! It’s my favorite ice cream ever, it’s so delicious. I could eat that one forever!!!
To be honest I’ve never tried it. Would be lovely to though.
I love the Baileys flavour, it’s such a special taste I treat myself to some at Christmas.
I like the Spiced Pecan Turtle ice cream i get every time i go to New York.
I like the coffee ice cream best because it’s lovely to finish a nice meal with coffee ice cream and an espresso coffee.
Oh wow, that is the most amazing advent calendar ever!
It’s hard to choose, but I think my favourite flavour is Banana Chocolate Brownie because the combination of banana, fudge and chocolate is just sublime – I love a good banana ice cream, and combined with the chunks of brownie and the hint of fudge running through it is just incredible. I want some now!
Belgian chocolate is my fave it’s just feels so naughty to eat.
Belgian chocolate as I’m a choc-olocic lol
I just love Baileys Haagen Dazs. It’s so hard to get hold of but it’s just so creamy and scrummy. I can quite easily eat a tub of it in one go!
It was always my comfort food when I was upset 🙂
I love the Strawberry Cheesecake flavour! (I buy it once a week!) It’s so indulgent and tastes very much like an actual frozen strawberry cheesecake. The little bits of biscuit included are the best!
The vanilla is my favourite flavour – I have tried all the others but always come back to vanilla. It’s smooth, creamy and so full of flavour. I love it!
I love the Macadamia Nut Brittle because it is such a lovely rich ice cream and I love it!
Belgian chocolate – but I love them all why do I have to choose a favourite
sorry the reason is because I am a chocoholic
Pralines and cream is my favourite because I love the creamy taste and the texture of praline crunch.
Cookie Dough is an absolute favourite, love the flavour and texture
I love Belgian Chocolate – it is so totally chocolatey – delicious
Cookie dough – you just can’t beat it – although Belgian Chocolate is a close 2nd!
I love Vanilla because you can actually taste the Vanilla pods as opposed to some chemical attempt that seems to exist in most other brands.
Mint leaves and chocolate my fav, closely followed by coffee – yum!
I absolutely look biscuits so Cookie dough has to be my favourite
Pralines and cream is my favourite because I first tired it years ago when ‘posh’ ice cream first became popular and I LOVED it….and really it is still unbeatable.
My favourite is cookies and cream. I love the vanilla with the bits of Oreo type biscuit 🙂
I’m an ice-cream fiend so will eat any flavour except coffee
My favourite is Baileys but only as a special treat x
I like the Haagen-Dazs Pralines & Cream and the crunchy praline pecan pieces are mouthwatering
I am partial to quite a lot of them to be honest but my favourite is Pralines and Cream as I love the gooey caramel bits that are in it.
I love the flavour HÄAGEN-DAZS COOKIE DOUGH CHIP ICE CREAM – its so good x
I love their Vanilla, it’s such a rich, creamy taste that goes well with lots of desserts – or just in a bowl on it’s own
LOVE SALTED CARAMEL,IT IS RICH AND CREAMY,AND SHEER DELIGHT,
I USUALLY HAVE TO FIGHT THE CHILDREN FOR IT THOUGH
I like the Strawberry Cheesecake flavour but my favourite is always their Vanilla, my indulgent luxury 🙂
cookie dough- i could eat itall day and all night!
Favorite is hard as I normally choose the competitors (hoping that won’t count me out) – but I do love Macadamia Nut Brittle
My favourite flavour is White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle, I love white chocolate and the taste of the raspberries is divine. While it has an extra bonus of the chocolately fudge truffle a must have when you have had a stressful day.
My favourite is banana chocolate brownie because I love the mix of bananas and chocolate together.
Strawberry Cheesecake which reminds me of trips to Brighton as a child xxx
