Haagen-Dazs' 'Royal Milk Tea Crunch' is a rich milk tea ice cream wrapped in a crispy coating, creating a good texture contrast

' Royal Milk Tea Crunch ' will be added to Häagen-Dazs' bar ice cream series on January 20, 2026. It is said that you can enjoy the combination of rich royal milk tea ice cream and crunchy coating. Since such a royal milk tea crunch arrived at the GIGAZINE editorial department a little earlier, I actually tried eating it and confirmed the taste.

The back looks like this.

It is an ice cream with 8.0% non-fat milk solids, 12.5% milk fat, and 0.7% egg fat. Ingredients include milk tea chocolate coating, cream, black tea sauce, feuilletine, and black tea.

Each piece contains 271kcal.

Inside the box was an ice bar wrapped in a bag.

This is what the Royal Milk Tea Crunch looks like. The surface is dotted with feuilletine.

I cut it open with a knife to see the cross section. The milk tea ice cream is coated in milk tea chocolate coating, and inside is a dark brown black tea sauce.

The crispy coating on top and the crunchy feuilletine create a great contrast with the soft ice cream inside. The milk tea ice cream is mixed with the tea sauce, creating a rich tea flavor that reminds you of boiled black tea with lots of sugar. However, it has no bitterness and is quite sweet overall, so it's recommended to enjoy it with a cup of hot tea.

The suggested retail price for Royal Milk Tea Crunch is 351 yen including tax and is scheduled to be released on January 20, 2026.
