First things first. I love ice cream. The majority of the ice cream I eat I make myself. I have high standards so maybe I'm about to be a little too critical.

For years I've heard nothing but how good Ben and Jerry's and Haagen-Dazs ice cream is. Ben and Jerry's is fine but let's be honest, it's more about the mix-ins than the ice cream itself. Supposedly Haagen-Dazs was all about really good quality ice cream. I never tried Haagen-Dazs until tonight.

I had to grab a few things at the store tonight and decided to pick up a container of Haagen-Dazs new Ginger Molasses ice cream. After I had the first taste I immediately realized I had been fooled by good marketing and people who don't know what the hell good ice tastes like. It was not smooth and I could taste the ice crystals. I looked at the ingredient list and immediately spotted the culprit. The second ingredient listed was skim milk! Skim milk in premium ice cream? What are they thinking!?

My ice creams are made with heavy cream and half/half with the cream being the higher proportion. Skim milk is basically water and in my opinion isn't fit for cereal and definitely not ice cream.

Take my advice and save your money. There is nothing premium about Haagen-Dazs.
