Flavor battle: Dulce Delish v. Dulce de Leche

Ben & Jerry’s has a new flavor: Dulce Delish. But how does it match up against the popular Haagen-Dazs flavor Dulce de Leche?

I was excited to do this comparison because I recently ate a dessert at a snazzy restaurant that featured legit dulce de leche: Carmelized plaintains in a crepe with cajeta and raspberry sauce. Somehow this fusion of flavors created a Dr. Pepper-esque sensation. So when I bought these flavors, I also bought some raspberry syrup.

Ben & Jerry’s Dulce Delish
More bitter
The dark caramel has a taste resembling cajeta, goat’s milk caramel
Much heavier
The raspberry syrup created flavor combat with the negatives of each flavor showing.

Haagen Dazs Dulce de Leche
Sweeter
Caramel on caramel
Lighter
Raspberry syrup was good on the Haagen Dazs. The flavors fused a little.

Conclusion: Ben & Jerry’s may offer the more unique flavor, but to me it was not enjoyable to eat.
