I remember when I was a child, we used to buy Häagen Dazs Green Tea Mochi at supermarkets. Now, we visit Häagen Dazs stores for their Chocolate and Fondue Ice Cream whenever we felt like it. It's a great way to bond with the family. When I saw the Häagen Dazs Christmas Ice Cream Cake being sold at Deal Grocer, I bought one for the family. It was suppose to be for Christmas but it was delayed because they couldn't accommodate the large demand.
It was delivered to us in a Häagen Dazs red cake box. As we opened, a frozen mini was revealed with a dome cover.

The Häagen Dazs Christmas Ice Cream Cake was so beautiful. Aside from the colorful blocks of flavored ice cream, it had a chocolate bow on top, a Häagen Dazs tag and cute little cream snow balls at the side.

The dark chocolate ribbons on top was delicious that everyone in the family wanted some bits of it. The cake had three types of colorful cubes. According to the description from Deal Grocer, they are chocolate, raspberry and mango. I've tasted it's chocolate before so it was nothing new to me. It was as good as I remembered. It was rich and bitter-sweet. My favorite among the three flavors was the raspberry. I loved its fragrant and tangy taste. Unlike the creamy chocolate, the raspberry and the mango had sherbet-like texture. The mango does not taste like our sweet local carabao mangoes. Instead, it was similar to peaches. All flavors blended very well. The raspberry and mango was a bit tangy but it was countered by the rich chocolate. The best part was its crunchy chocolate cereal crust at the bottom.
Update as of December 15, 2019: Shortly after we wrote this post in 2012, Häagen Dazs unfortunately decided to close its Philippine branches.
