International ice cream lovers, rejoice! Haagen-Dazs is a global phenomenon in the ice cream space, so it should come as no surprise that they’re launching new flavors around the world this spring. Sadly, and to spoil things, these are truly all international-only offerings. The U.S. and Canada are left off the coverage list for all eight new flavors coming to the frozen aisle (maybe not so) near you. So what tantalizing options could you find while you’re out and about this spring? Let’s get into it.

Haagen-Dazs is putting out four new flavors of their classic pint-sized ice creams.
Two of the flavors, Haagen-Dazs Chocolate Brownie and Haagen-Dazs Tiramisu, will be in stores this May/June while the third flavor, Haagen-Dazs Belgian Chocolate is currently available. Haagen-Dazs is launching these flavors globally except in the U.S., Canada, and Japan. Rude!
The fourth flavor that Haagen-Dazs is releasing in pint format is Haagen-Dazs Strawberry Mochi, which will be even more exclusive than the other three. Strawberry Mochi will only be available in Asia. Hopefully these four flavors will sell well and can make their way into other markets so we can get them a little easier down the line. TBH, I would kill to be able to walk to my local 7-Eleven to pick up a pint of Tiramisu ice cream from Häagen-Dazs.
Haagen-Dazs is also releasing four “stick bars” (ice cream bars) in two different markets.
China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea are expected to get Mango Coconut with a Touch of Grapefruit and Strawberry with a Touch of Yuzu ice cream bars in March/April. France, Spain, United Kingdom, and Australia will then get creamy strawberry and roasted almond chocolate vanilla ice cream bars in April.
I guess, particularly with the exclusion of the U.S. on all of these lists, we just have an excuse to dust off our passports to track them down in the future. Does that mean we can write our travel fees off as a business expense? BRB, consulting my accountant.
