Tasting "Overflowing Berry Cookie & Cream" and "Overflowing Chocolat Rich Matcha"! What do they taste like...?
Now, we will taste test both "Overflowing Berry Cookie & Cream" and "Overflowing Chocolat Rich Matcha"!
Open the lid, and peel, peel, peel the inner lid.
The surface is covered with chocolate, so you can't see what's inside!
Mini Cup SPOON CRUSH is a product that's popular for its "crispy and overflowing" experience, allowing you to enjoy the chocolate surface that cracks crisply and the overflowing sauce.
They say the best time to eat it is 11 minutes after taking it out of the freezer.
I'll time it and wait!
It's melting nicely.
What does "Overflowing Berry Cookie & Cream" taste like?
Vanilla with berry sauce and cocoa cookies that appear after breaking the crispy chocolate.
In terms of taste, I find the sourness of the berry sauce quite strong.
However, when you eat the ice cream, berry sauce, and chocolate together, the sourness becomes milder.
The crispy texture of the chocolate is enjoyable, and there's a good balance between the sourness of the berry sauce and the sweetness of the ice cream and chocolate.
The cocoa cookies inside the ice cream are slightly bitter and serve as an accent.
Since the sourness is quite emphasized, I think it might divide opinions, but it's an irresistible ice cream for people who like the sourness of raspberries and lemons.
What does "Overflowing Chocolat Rich Matcha" taste like?
Next, I'll also try "Overflowing Chocolat Rich Matcha"!
Both the chocolate sauce and matcha are rich and bitter, giving an overall mellow impression.
Matcha and chocolate sauce are both rich on their own, but when combined, they are surprisingly easy to eat.
Here too, you can enjoy the texture and sound of the crispy chocolate, and it's a calm, adult flavor perfect for some alone time when you want to relax.
Häagen-Dazs Mini Cup SPOON CRUSH "Overflowing Berry Cookie & Cream" and "Overflowing Chocolat Rich Matcha" are available for a limited time at supermarkets, convenience stores, department stores, etc., nationwide!
