When two prominent names in desserts come together, you know you’re in for something wonderful. So when Haagen-Dazs and Pierre Herme announced that they were putting their heads together, dessert-loving consumers across the globe were anticipating an era of magical indulgence. And they weren’t wrong.

When Haagen-Dazs Meets Pierre Herme

As the world’s foremost luxury ice-cream maker, Haagen-Dazs has carved a reputation as one of the world’s foremost ice-cream brands since its inception in 1960. In the case of Pierre Herme, the French pastry chef is renowned for his renowned and exquisite macarons.

So when you combine the expertise of both, the end result is nothing short of pure indulgence. After all, you’d expect nothing less from the world famous ice-cream brand and a patisserie expert that has been dubbed the ‘Picasso of Pastry’.

“I am very excited and proud of our new collaboration. For the past twenty years, I have constantly been creating and reinterpreting my macaron recipes, which is my favourite creative terrain. My macarons are my identity so to put them in an ice cream I needed to work with the very best. Haagen-Dazs is just as passionate as me when it comes to, quality, taste and crafting things in a new way so collaboration was established from the first bite”, explains Pierre Herme of this collaboration.

The result is the love story of ice cream and macaron with Parisian flair. Crunchy chewy mini macaron shells are added to the creamy ice cream, bringing the perfect balance of the dreamy taste of Haagen-Dazs with the Pierre Herme macaron’s signature almond flavour. The range includes three different flavours of ice cream: Strawberry & Raspberry, Double Chocolate Ganache, and Yuzu & Lemon.

”The collaboration with Pierre Herme is a perfect way of showcasing the true craftsmanship of our brands,” says Manuel Garabato, Häagen-Dazs Global Brand Director. “We are both passionate about innovating and re-interpreting classic favourites and creating extraordinary experiences for our consumers. And what better way to do that than with a pure French “amour” taste experience. Don’t hold back is what we embody in everything we do and here we epitomise that with our macaron collaboration bringing alive Paris in a pint”.

When Is It Coming Out?

Well, the new macaron ice cream range is hitting shelves in UK and France this February. The Haagen-Dazs X Pierre Herme 2023 collection will then be made available globally with a wider launch across Europe, Asia, Latin America and Middle East in spring-summer.
