~ Mini Cup 'Chocolat Mint Extra' Edition ~

A Refreshing Chocolate Mint Ice Cream that Meets the Expectations of Chocolate Mint Fans

To create the delicious taste of its ice cream, Häagen-Dazs continues to thoroughly pursue a commitment to quality in all processes, from the selection of raw materials to the manufacturing process.

The chocolate mint flavor has been supported by many fans, expanding its market share year by year, and is released to coincide with the peak of summer. At Häagen-Dazs, the mini cup 'White Mint & Chocolat' released in 2020 and the bar 'Chocolat Mint Crunch' released in 2024 attracted high attention from chocolate mint fans and were well received by many customers.

This time, the company focused on the 'solid mint exhilaration' sought by chocolate mint fans and developed the product with a focus on the strength of the mint. Through repeated tastings of the sweetness of the chocolate, its melting in the mouth, and the degree of texture accent, they pursued the optimal balance between chocolate and mint.

★ Focus Point 1: Mint Ice Cream with Outstanding Refreshment due to Higher Mint Content than Before

The mint ice cream is formulated with more mint than conventional mint flavors, resulting in a taste with a clean and exhilarating feeling. The mint ice cream, which utilizes the original whiteness of the ingredients without the use of coloring agents, is also a unique commitment of Häagen-Dazs.

★ Focus Point 2: Bitter Chocolate Chips that Match Mint, Focusing on the Balance of Texture and Melting

The chocolate chips are designed with a moderately sweet, bitter taste with a cacao feel that pairs well with the refreshing mint. By focusing on a crispy texture and melting in the mouth, and dispersing them evenly throughout, consumers can enjoy a pleasant texture until the last bite, along with a moderate melting sensation.
