Advantages: Buttery flavor, lovely pecans Disadvantages: Tastes waaaaaaaaaay too good!
...I've figured out that what Haagen-Dazs calls "Praline & Cream" in the UK is what they call "Crème Caramel Pecan" in the US, I can finally write this op!
We all know that Haagen-Dazs makes some of the finest ice creams on the market today, and are now produced and sold all over the world. They can, therefore, charge a bit more (if not a lot more) for their products than the local brands such as Walls, ASDA or even Cadbury ice creams. But the question ... ...I've become spoiled and even Haagen-Dazs hasn't been able to equal the experience of eating a chocolate "Gelato" in Rome. No - there is just no commercially produced chocolate ice cream that comes close. And anyway, my husband isn't much of a chocolate person (leaving more for me, of course), so when we buy a fancy ice cream, we tend to try to find one that everyone in the house can enjoy. Praline & Cream (or, as we get it here, Crème Caramel Pecan) ...

Advantages: This is God's presence on Earth Disadvantages: If this was all I ate, I would die horribly.
If I were of any influence in this cold and desperate world, then I would banish this particular luxury from existance. Why? Because, it's just too damn fine.
I cry myself to sleep thinking about Haagen Dazs Praline & Cream. 'If only it were human', I sob into the heartless pillow, 'And I would have the perfect bride...'
Giving this ice-cream to a fat man like myself, is like giving a gun to a particularly anti-social four year old: irresposible, ... ...none too healthy and there is nothing else like it. This dessert will be the death of me.
A 500ml tub (because anything smaller would just be silly) is filled to the top with thick white ice-cream, clumps of unbelievably sticky caramel and chips of caramelised pecan nuts. The packaging is a good, sturdy cardboard container, coated in plastic with a plastic lid (try not to eat this as well.) Usually identifiable by the huge Haagen Dazs lettering ...

...chill with a tub of Haagen-Dazs Pralines & Cream. Yumshuss.
I usually buy Yorkshire Dales ice-cream as it’s cheaper and of a very high quality but lately I’ve felt the need to pamper myself and go the hole hog with this delightful stuff.
Very satisfying for the tastes buds, in fact I would go so far as to say it’s a veritable taste sensation. What I love about this stuff is the creamy texture of the ice-cream and swirls of caramel which melt lovingly ... ...well what can I say but WOW. The nuts have been caramelised to add that extra crunch and taste, which all adds up to a really fabulous ice-cream experience (okay this may sound a bit over the top but give me a break – I don’t get out much these days, lol).
The caramel tastes like maple syrup to which is also a favourite of mine. If your on a diet (which I’m obviously not as I’m eating at least two tubs a week, naughty, naughty) then avoid this treat ...

...the path to joy
Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream, Praline and Cream
Pleasure is the path to joy, so the advert tells us. Well damn me, if the path to joy is this good, who needs heaven when they die?
We all have our favourite and not-so-favourite ice creams, and this has got to be my number one, without doubt. I grew up with vanilla ice cream, and Neopolitan ice cream as a treat (Cor, remember that?!), but I only remember Haagen-Dazs being available from ... ...Being a skint kid, as I was, I was reluctant to shell out so much more money for a small tub of ice cream, when I knew I could get a lot more, for a lot less, of a less fancy brand.
As time went on, however, I found that I wanted more. Ice cream is great, but if you have it all the time, it can get boring, so you need to add something to the ice cream to make it better. (I know you’re all drawing your own similes here, but stick with me, ok, as ...

Advantages: Perfect therapy at the end of a hard day. Disadvantages: Too much indulgence usually stays with you...on your hips and thighs for example!
It’s Tuesday night....it’s 6.30……it's been a long day at the office.....but...it’s Haagen Dazs night!!!!! Every Tuesday night for me is spent with my very best friend, Batman (alias Cathie). We go to our local cinema, choose a good film and induuuuuulge! It’s the best therapy after a hard day’s work.
Haagen Dazs has to be the best make of ice cream on the market. It has the creamiest texture without being sickly or too sweet. Pralines and Cream ... ...which are surrounded by creamy vanilla heaven. The best way to savour the wonderful flavour is to take a mouthful and suck off the outside ice cream…..then you’re left with CRUNCH!
Batman prefers her Pralines and Cream covered in hot butterscotch sauce. For me this is too sweet and only masks the delectable ice cream underneath. However,I often have a second flavour with it…..usually Macadamia Nut Crunch. The two scoop cup is a generous portion. ...

I usually always opt for low fat ice cream products...with one exception.............
When it comes to decadence in a tub - Hagaan Daazs wins hands down.
The premise of Hagaan Dazs is that they only use the best quality ingredients in their products and it shows!
This time I'm reviewing Pralines and Cream but every other flavour lives up to the same high standard (Strawberry Shortcake is perfect for Summer).
Onto the Product
****************
... ...cream with generous swirls of not too runny caramel sauce. It's also laced with caramelised whole pecan nuts (yummy). You know what they say…the best ideas are the simplest ones…… and they were right!
The thick ice cream is incredibly creamy and you can tell that vanilla pods (as opposed to synthetic flavour) have been used in the product. The ice cream compliments the caramel well and there are tons of pecans in each tub. But, although it sounds ...

Advantages: Can be eaten straight from the tub Disadvantages: MUCH too moreish
After buying my first tub of hagen dazs on promotion at buy one get one free at my local supermarket I thought that for £3.79 it should be pretty good. In fact it was way better than that. I tasted a tiny bit from the tub promising that I would put it back until later. After 10 seconds my bowl was full and there I was shovelling this delicious pecan nut filled creamy caramel ice cream into my mouth. The mixture of the nuts and buttery ice cream was ... ...the whole tub. At first i had thought the price was a bit expensive especially as I am not much of an ice cream fan, but after that first taste I realised just how good the quality of this was and what I had been missing out on for all the years hagen dazs has been around. I am now planning on systematically going through every other kind of hagen dazs to find out if the others are just as good. (all in the name of research of course) The best way ...

Advantages: It's the ultimate non-sexual pleasure. Disadvantages: It sends all other ice-cream back to the drawing board.
You finally manage to get it home, reassuring yourself that you can cope - it's just the one, a night's indulgence and then you'll be clear. Your hot hand has made the upright solid body more pliable, beads of moisture trickle down to nudge your grasping fingers. Your heartrate increases, you are alone, no-one to disturb this guilty pleasure, no-one to stop you, no-one to share the cool classic package. Slowly, carefully, you peel back the thin filmy ... ...reveal the glistening softness within. An involuntary, shuddering exhale of breath slips out as you anticipate the pleasure to come.
You take your gleaming teaspoon, delve into the melting border of delight and scoop up a morsel of the most pleasurable thing you'll ever place upon your tongue. That intense creamy sweetness hits you, the richness of the top quality ingredients, the cream, the egg, the real vanilla....a cool chill races to your pleasure ...
