\"Haagen<\/p>\n

I have enjoyed the few varieties of Haagen-Dazs Trio Crispy Layers that I have tried so far. Texturally, they are a pleasure to devour. They also scratch a chocolate itch, that\u2019s for sure. Each one has a variation of ice creams with oodles of chocolate layers throughout the container.<\/p>\n

Recently, Haagen-Dazs launched a new flavor for the Trio Crispy Layers line: Ruby Cacao Crackle with Pistachio and Sweet Cream Ice Cream. I had heard of ruby chocolate before this, but have never gotten the chance to try it, so I was very excited to snag this.<\/p>\n

The concept with the Ruby Cacao Crackle is similar to the rest of the Trio Crispy Layers line. Pistachio and sweet cream ice creams are stacked on top of each other with shards of ruby cacao in between every two layers.<\/p>\n

\"Haagen<\/p>\n

The top of the pint has the sweet cream and pistachio ice creams swirled together for a nice aesthetic effect. Once you get past the top, it\u2019s alternating layers of the two.<\/p>\n

\"Haagen<\/p>\n

Upon digging in, the first thing that hits me is the pistachio ice cream. It\u2019s rich and earthy, but still very sweet. Unfortunately, it overpowers the sweet cream ice cream. There was not a single bite throughout the container that didn\u2019t taste like pistachio. It\u2019s not bad at all, but it\u2019s uneven. Both are decadent without being too heavy and are a tad icy. It\u2019s the typical Haagen-Dazs formula.<\/p>\n

\"Haagen<\/p>\n

The supposed star of the show, the ruby cacao, is certainly interesting. The pistachio kept masking its flavor, so I had to isolate some pieces to really analyze it. It has more of a delicate flavor than I was expecting. It reminds me of white chocolate, but with some berry undertones coming through. There is a touch of tartness to its mild sweetness. Frankly, it\u2019s just not that special. Texturally, the ruby cacao adds the satisfying crunch to the mix that I was hoping for.<\/p>\n

All in all, this was a decent near-pint, but I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll ever purchase it again. The pistachio ice cream completely dominated everything else. I would have preferred a little bit more balance between the flavors. If you like pistachio ice cream, you should definitely try this, though. Personally, I\u2019ll probably stick with any of the other Trio Crispy Layers flavors available.<\/p>\n
