I saw that extended commercial too.

Stickey Toffee Pudding didn't sound very appealing to me. I'm imagining that it would have been very, very sweet. Neither did the coconut one. I don't like coconut and I wonder if they were able to keep a brittle-like texture with the sesame candy that would actually "crunch".

I think I would have preferred the Canoli and I'm already hatching a plan to introduce some mascarpone, some chopped chocolate & pistachio and some candied citron to a vanilla base and freeze it up. Only thing is right now is the time to make things with all the fabulous fresh fruit that's available. I'll try the canoli thing in the fall when it will be nice to be able to use other ingredients that aren't so perishable.

I wanted the Toasted Coconut Sesame brittle flavour to win.
Boo.
The Cannoli sounded good, too. I'll try the Sticky Toffee Pudding, but it was my 3rd choice of the 3.
I wrote Haagen-Daz encouraging them to release all 3 flavours... even if LE.
I recommend the rest of you to do the same, if you agree.

I say well done. I'd buy it without hesitation.

I thought they should let the consumer choose by putting all three flavors on the shelf and let the consumer choose which one they liked best by keeping track of which one sold the most!!

I was rooting for the caramelized fig and walnut one. I think I'll be making something similar myself, a sort of cross with the cannoli. Mascarpone base with a thick ribbon of caramelized fig and walnut chunks.

Yum! That looks really good. Correction though: on a sticky toffee pudding, the sauce is poured over it, not contained within the cake.

I wanted the coconut sesame one to win, too. I'm wicked curious as to what it tastes like. Does anyone know when this flavor will be out? We looked for it yesterday but it was no where to be found.

I think they should've put all three flavors on the market, as well, letting the public decide by the most sales. The test markets they used weren't necessarily accurate. My family's preference was the toasted coconut sesame brittle!!

mmmmm sounds really really good!!!

Oh my lands! Saw the show, fell asleep for the winner, but found the Sticky Toffee Pudding in the store and tried a pint. Incredible! Not as sweet as you might think, and the cake tasted just like a spice cake to me--wonderful balance of flavor and texture. I am broken-hearted that it's limited edition; it's good enough to stay put.

Try it!

My boyfriend and I saw the program too and my choices were the coconut one first, the canolli second. and the sticky toffee third.

He went out looking for the ice cream the next day, but we didnt know it has not been released yet.

And an answer to the person regarding the toffee sauce it is supposed to be swirled in the ice cream.

To the previous poster. They did take the three flavors out to the public and let them vote on the winner.

I saw the show;and was very disappointed. Everyone with a refined taste palate knows cannoli can't be beat! The choice of toffee pudding is not only overplayed but rather boring. I won't be buying it any time soon.

I would have loved the fig flavor for the new ice cream. I agree that all flavors be put before the public to judge. Maybe next time.

Im a long time ice cream lover BUT IF IT AINT CHOCOLATE, WHO CARES> PLUS THE MORE STUFF IN IT/ THE BETTER.

I get a toothache just thinking about it It sounds way to sweet.

Based on what I saw on the show, I was rooting for either the cannoli or the coconut/ginger. But since i never had sticky pudding, I was curious and bought a pint today. Very disappointing! It's a flavor that reminds me of any vanilla-based ice cream with caramel sauce. Nothing special, really, in my "testers" opinion - our family of 4 and 2 neighbors.

I say please pretty please bring back the Bananas Foster I was in total heaven with that ice cream.
