## Story

Dark cherry was named a flavor of the year. Available in the U.S. from April 1 through June 30, the collection combines cherry and chocolate flavors.

The collection includes:

- **Dark Cherry Truffle Ice Cream**: Cherry vanilla ice cream with ribbons of tart cherry and cocoa truffles.

- **The Dark Cherry Truffle Dazzler Sundae**: Layers of Dark Cherry Truffle ice cream, tart cherry preserves, and hot fudge, topped with whipped cream and a cocktail cherry.

- **The Dark Cherry Truffle Shake**: Dark Cherry Truffle ice cream with milk, topped with whipped cream and a cocktail cherry.

The cocktail cherries featured atop the Dazzler Sundae and Shake come from Traverse City Whiskey Co. — a distillery known for cherries used in premium cocktails. Based in Traverse City, Michigan, the company produced candied northern Michigan Balaton cherries with bold tart-sweet flavor.

"Dark cherry is having a real moment and we wanted to bring it to our shops in a way that feels distinctly Häagen-Dazs," said Häagen-Dazs Director of Marketing Rachel Jaiven. "The Dark Cherry Truffle Collection pairs deep chocolate richness with bright cherry notes for a smooth, satisfying treat that feels premium, craveable and perfect for warmer weather."
