Spring is the season of blooming flowers, pastel romances and, perhaps, sweet treats to tantalise your tastebuds. And Häagen-Dazs’ limited edition Spring Floral Collection just so happens to be a combination of all three!
Inspired by Spring, each flavour infuses Häagen-Dazs’ signature ice-cream with real flower extracts from jasmine and orange blossom flowers, allowing you to have a taste of floral deliciousness with every bite! The Orange Blossom ice-cream has orange blossom extract blended with velvety ice cream, drizzled over with a fragrant bergamot sauce. Meanwhile, the Jasmine Raspberry & Pomegranate ice-cream is infused with a delicate jasmine extract, and complemented by a tart raspberry and pomegranate sauce made from raspberry puree and fresh pomegranate juice.

Our personal favourite between the two flavours would be the Jasmine Raspberry & Pomegranate ice-cream. The scent of jasmine was distinct and paired well with the tartness of the swirls of raspberry and pomegranate. This would be a great choice for tea-lovers, especially those who favour fruit teas! In contrast, we felt that the Orange Blossom ice-cream, while aromatic, was a tad mild, with the dominant taste being that of vanilla instead of bergamot. We did like the swirls of bergamot sauce, however!

That being said, if you want to luxuriate your tastebuds with Spring-inspired sweet treats, look no further! Enjoy the best of Spring with the elegant Love Blossoms High Tea Set (S$46, serves two). A lovely three-tier carrier holds six mini ice cream scoops in tart shells, assorted pastries (we love the brownies!), seasonal fresh fruits, warm chocolate fondue sauce, and complimentary tea and coffee.

Or, if high tea and pastries isn’t really your thing (really?), sip on a refreshing Orange Blossom Iced Tea (S$9.90), a delightful blend of orange-infused Earl Grey Tea and fresh mint leaves topped with Orange Blossom ice cream and chunks of seasonal fruits. We liked how the tea was pleasantly sweet, yet not cloying; and the ice cream added just the right amount of milkiness to it!
