Haagen-Dazs Non-Dariy TRIO Dark Chocolate Coconut Cookies and Cream
Haagen-Dazs Dark Chocolate Coconut Cookies and Cream is the last of the new dairy-free TRIO flavors I tried as well as the last new TRIO flavor of 2018. It has a chocolate and coconut base with dark chocolate layers and chocolate cookie pieces.
The coconut flavor is definitely prominent at first. It's a warmer, tropical coconut flavor bordering on, but not crossing over into sunscreen territory. Eventually you start to taste the chocolate base, and once it hits, it dials down the intensity of the coconut. After a few bites, the two feel pretty well balanced with the coconut perhaps a bit stronger. Interestingly, the chocolate base was visually dominant.
With other TRIO flavors, I felt the large quantity of the crunchy layer overwhelmed the other elements, but here, having so much dark chocolate crunch helped achieve a good chocolate-coconut balance.
I didn't feel there were enough chocolate cookies. I always enjoy the buttery, floury taste and texture of a good cookie mix-in, and these were good, but there weren't enough of them! Unfortunately, like the other TRIO flavors, there was too much going on and nowhere to actually put more cookies.
I'm rating this 🍦🍦.5/4. I liked this flavor, but it didn't pop for me like some of the other non-dairy TRIOs. Haagen-Dazs really needs to consider removing an element from the TRIO flavors, I mean .... they're supposed to be trios not quads after all!
