Haagen-Dazs City Sweets Collection
Häagen-Dazs launched its new City Sweets collection, inspired by city street food desserts, such as street vendor pretzels, churros, waffles and New York's classic black and white cookies.
The ice cream collection is available five flavors: Dulce de Leche Churro, Coffee Chocolate Brownie, Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel, Summer Berry Cake Pop and Black & White Cookie. It also comes in a snack bar format in three flavors: Dulce de Leche Churro, Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel and Summer Berry Waffle.
The City Sweets collection is available nationwide with a suggested retail price of $6.49 for 14-ounce containers and $5.49 for cartons containing three bars.
The collection propels the company’s #ThatsDazs campaign forward, which launched last year to elevate a new generation of diverse tastemakers and creators. Häagen-Dazs enlisted the talents of Brooklyn-based artist, Jade Purple Brown, to design the City Sweets packaging. It is also supported by singer and actress, Leslie Grace.
“Inspired by the creativity of Häagen-Dazs founding tastemakers who emigrated from Poland to the Bronx, we are continuing our work to uplift new voices and showcase diverse creators,” said Elizabell Marquez, chief marketing officer at Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, Oakland, Calif., which owns the Häagen-Dazs brand.
Founded in 1960, Häagen-Dazs’ products include ice cream tubs, bars, sorbet, alcohol-infused ice cream and vegan and gluten free ice cream.
