Haagen-Dazs Tiramisu is labeled as "Tiramisu gelato with cocoa ladyfinger pieces". Since i have only had Tiramisu once in my lifetime for Buca Di Beppo i had very high hopes after trying this cake for the first time in my life and it was absolutely amazing.
Upon cracking the lid you notice that you see a coffee looking like layer that evens the surface and a small glimpse of the mix-ins (Cocoa Ladyfinger pieces) which reminded me somewhat of butterfingers in essence, that were not rock hard which you can find in a ben & jerry's from time and time again.
HD is not really known for loads of mix-ins such as Graeters may be known for and an occasional Ben & Jerry's pint may be extra heavy, but after having PB Pie and knowing how rich the mix-ins were I wish this was the case for this pint. Let me tell you though the base is literally spot on coffee flavor that is nice and mild. Its not a dark blend or a light blend but more along the lines of a middle with a small touch of a mascarpone aftertaste which is very nice. There is also a small kick of a cheese kind of flavoring that layers the tiramisu to complete the taste aspect you would want when trying out this pint.
The base was very creamy very similar to those of having a Talenti Pint (Gelato), and not like you would have if you had a regular pint of this brand (based off the label) which made it very enjoyable. The creaminess of the coffee/tiramisu base was absolutely spot on and the ladyfinger mix-ins were very dense and rich. They were not just small little flakes they were actual globs. They had a great outside crunch and a good tasting sponge cake taste to them with a hint of a butterfingers. I really did not taste much of a "Cocoa ladyfinger" but without a doubt this pint has exactly what you want when it comes to a true "Tiramisu" flavoring.
