making real ice cream with Häagen Dazs #realornothing

Häagen-Dazs never fails to impress

Last week started like this…would you like to come to a Häagen-Dazs event to eat velvety and delicious ice cream, gorgeous food in a stunning roof top apartment in Central London? My answer: ‘Okay! I am up to eat my favourite food in a spectacular location’ …And another foodie adventure an insight into the world of real and proper ice cream co-hosted by straight talking Natalie Coleman, Masterchef 2013 and Great British Chefs head of social media Mecca Ibrahim. We also had a sneak pick view of Häagen-Dazs new campaign for #realornothing. The lifestyle visuals of real couples are arresting.
What does Häagen-Dazs means? the answer is nothing, it is just a name. What is in a Häagen-Dazs tube? just real pure ice cream, a minimal amount of air is incorporated in the making process insuring lots of real ice cream in their pots.

Dessert: Natalie Coleman’s handmade vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce among other toppings including chocolate, berries, nuts and meringue.

ice cream sensory experience:  scent, texture and tasting four totally different ice creams and trying to guess which one was Häagen-Dazs …

 tasting more delicious  Häagen-Dazs ice cream, I can’t possibly choose just one favourite flavour.
Interesting to hear and learn more about such a high profile brand and celebrate my favourite food!
