Amazon Valley Chocolate by Haagen Dazs Ice Cream Review
May 24th, 2007Well, I finally found it: Outstanding plain chocolate ice cream. Haagen Dazs’ new “reserve” line has produced at least one amazing flavor: Amazon Valley Chocolate. This ice cream is very very chocolatey. (It’s more of a dark chocolate than a milk chocolate.) It’s smooth and it’s rich. It’s so rich that it’s actually difficult to eat a lot in one sitting (which is probably good since it’s not the healthiest ice cream.) One of the scoops I had before finishing the pint I drizzled with melted peanut butter– I would highly recommend this. But, this ice cream doesn’t need the peanut butter to taste good. It is wonderful on it’s own. Go out and buy some before they discontinue it, trust me. (Hopefully they won’t discontinue it, but if it’s truly good amazon cocoa bean they use, then it could run out.)

I was on vacation in St. Thomas and I had some gelato called Happy Face that was absolutely to die for. The company, has amazing packaging that describes the gelatos and sorbets they make as 100% Natural, 100% Caribbean. I tasted their mango and kiwi sorbet also and it was just as good as the gelato (their chocolate is the best I have ever had). There really is a differnce when you taste an all natural product made with fresh fruits. I can’t wait to go back to the Virgin Islands….not only to drink lots of rum, but to stuff myself with Happy Face Sorbet and Gelato. Has anyone else ever had it?

Agree. It’s absolutely the best store bought chocolate ice cream I know of. I hope that they don’t discontinue this product. The funny things is that I am usually a plain vanilla person. But this ice cream is excellent in every way. Bravo HaagenDaz.
